The War to Ministry is a true story of a woman who from her youth has been called to minister and deliver God's word. She endures deceit from people she trusted, betrayal from family members, and intense measures of spiritual warfare that tries to jeopardize her job, character, and values. The story fosters a journey of highs and lows, countless attacks from a small community, and dismayed actions from local clergy members. The woman in the story could have flipped her calling and became a prisoner doing life on parole, surrendered to defeat and depression as well as anxiety, or took a ride back to her troubling past that she was told by the holy ghost himself that she wouldn't survive. However with prayers and a loving mother she defies the Odds and God does a special thing in her life and story although it has been a complete war for her in stepping in the pulpit; and partaking a role in ministry; as a young, attractive, and single mother. She is determined, though crippled by many circumstances, and builds a relationship in the midst of all trials and tribulations with God which becomes her safe place and haven. Kimberly M.
