Reverend West has a holistic approach to ministry which surpasses denominational, social, and racial barriers. She has been called to the kingdom for such a time as this to empower both young and old to rise to the top and be, do, go, and have all that God has designed for them. Many have been blessed by her inspiring words, uncompromising character, sincere personality and approachable demeanor. She is humbled to have had the opportunities to minister at numerous youth services, graduations, women’s conferences, and banquets.

Her favorite scripture in this season is Habakkuk 2:3 “The vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak and not lie: though it tarry, wait on it; because it shall surely come…”

Truly eye hath not seen, ear hath not heard, neither has it entered the hearts of men the things God has prepared for this young woman of God… yet, all those who know her can bear witness that the BEST IS YET TO COME. To God be the Glory!
