How did you become a Daystar Singer?
It all started through prayer! I was asking God for something new in my life and His answer came through Joe Ninowski. I had been singing independently for 30 years, and I was ready for something different. Joe had heard about me through working on various commercials and mentioned my name to help with a project for Joni. It went really well, and when the time came to put together a team of singers for Daystar, Joni invited me to join the group! I love how God chose to answer my prayer through Daystar!
What is your favorite memory as a Daystar Singer, and why?
Several years ago, we had boarded a flight to travel for ministry and were awaiting takeoff. As we were all sitting there, I looked around at our team and thought, “I love this. I love us.” I had always been a fan of the Law & Order show and wanted to be a part of a team like that. In that moment on the plane, I realized I had my Law & Order team, but even better! We are a team for the Lord! I still reflect on that memory from time to time, and it reminds of God’s goodness in my life. I feel so blessed to be a part of this ministry!
What is your funniest moment as a Daystar Singer?
One time Cindy, our friend Tonya, and I were getting ready for the Marcus and Joni show. We were talking, laughing, fixing our makeup and thinking we had all the time in the world. Then, when we were walking out on the stage, we realized the program had already started and we were late! We were devastated, and Joni was really gracious about our tardiness. But it still makes me laugh a little to this day. One minute is so long, yet so short in television!
