Min. Dr. James & Jeannett

Jeannett is a dedicated prayer warrior and a nurturing wife, mother, and grandmother. For 29 enriching years, she has stood faithfully beside her husband, James, as a steadfast partner and compassionate caregiver. While serving in the Veterans Administration and navigating the demands of military life, she has exemplified grace, resilience, and godly devotion.

Her unwavering commitment to her family and passion for advancing God’s kingdom reflect the noble woman described in Proverbs 31:

“She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.” – Proverbs 31:26

“She looks well to the ways of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.” – Proverbs 31:27

“Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her.” – Proverbs 31:28

“A woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.” – Proverbs 31:30

In 2020, Jeannett received a divine vision to launch Never Forgotten—a ministry birthed from compassion and purpose. This initiative provides bi-weekly prayer services and seasonal outreach, offering prayer and gifts to seniors during Valentine’s Day and Christmas. With every visit, every prayer, and every act of kindness, she sends a clear message: Seniors are never forgotten.

By 2022, Never Forgotten became a cherished part of the Kingdom Kindness Ministry at Heirs Christian Center Church, where it continues to grow under spiritual covering and community support. Jeannett’s heart for elders, especially those in nursing homes or overlooked in society, embodies this sacred mission.

Her life echoes Proverbs 31:20 

“She opens her hand to the poor and reaches out her hands to the needy.”

Jeannett is more than a faithful servant—she is a living legacy. Through Never Forgotten, she inspires others to honor, remember, and uplift those who paved the way before us. Her example reminds us that love, dignity, and prayer are eternal gifts—and in her ministry, no senior is ever forgotten.
