MINISTRY& CHARITY
"my grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”
Freedom Fighter Ministries
Ordained Chaplain & Masters in Biblical/Theology studies (in progress)
Freedom Fighter Ministries is Bessie's umbrella Ministry, spanning a wide demographic, through her speaking, Chaplaincy, and study at Seminary. Bessie's goal is to reach the downhearted, overworked, depressed, stressed, forgotten, and marginalized of all ages and walks of life.
We all battle the soul-destroying epidemic of modern life. The insane expectations, 'keeping up appearances', counterfeit happiness, and hollow values. Her mission: to show there really is a better way and to provide a path to freedom, love, and lasting change - through a deeper, more practical and personal connection with the Creator. Nothing beats the first-hand experience of the perfect love of Jesus.

Soul Spa
Who doesn't want a little peace in their life? I developed Soul Spa, for women like me, to be a literal Peace-Bath. Helping them slow down, break the tension of the week, rest & recover long enough to feel God's love, even if they don't yet believe, revealing a fresh perspective and lightness that flows through relationships and work in the days to follow.
PEACE-BATH & PRAYER IMMERSION creating space for women to feel God’s love, hear God's voice, and then support and affirm one another through a unique and powerful session of uplifting and encouraging prayer.

Women's Warrior Camp

Foster Youth Speaker, Camp Counsellor & Children’s Worship Leader

Prison Ministry
