“Friendship West Baptist Church knew it was a great business decision to offer the Christian Women’s Leadership Development Program to the women of our congregation as well as our female employees. It was through our personal relationship and her proven track record of integrity, wisdom and passion for the Lord, that we knew it would create a win-win situation. Her excellent communication skills and corporate background in professional training and development guaranteed that our church members and employees would gain valuable training,” said Executive Pastor, Rick Hill. “What we did not know was how impactful it would be on many of the women that finished the course. Elder Moffitt’s program went far beyond their expectations. This program was enriching and transforming in their personal lives!”
The Thank You tour started on Saturday February 23, 2013 at The Center of Hope Community Church in Oakland, California. The second stop was at Salem Baptist Church in Chicago, Illinois on Saturday, March 2, 2013.
