Jilleen … is   an   artist   that   finds   her   inspiration   in   her   love   for   the   Lord.   Born   & raised    in    South    Africa,    a    happy    and    musical    young    girl    began    her journey.   At   age   9,   Jilleen   was   given   the   opportunity   to   sing   at   her   Dad’s church   meeting.   This   was   the   start   of   what   she   would   find   to   be   her absolute   passion!      By   age   12,   Jilleen   &   her   family   were   on   their   way   to America.   Jilleen   said,   “We   traveled   in   ministry   from   church   to   church, seeing   God   work   miracles   in   Our   Lives   and   the   Lives   of   Others.   During   this time,    I    followed    my    passion    for    Music,    Singing    and    Performing.    This eventually     became     a     much     deeper     &     important     purpose     in     my life….Ministry!”        By    the    time    she’d    reached    her    late    teens,    she    had already sung all over the world and her path was clear…Music & Ministry. Ministry…. Raised   on   the   road   and   in   meetings   almost   every   night,   she spent   a   great   deal   of   time   in   the   presence   of   the   Lord.   Jilleen   said,   “From God’s   sweet   presence,   came   a   Deep   Love   and   Understanding   of   the Lord.   My   personal   walk   with   God   developed   into   sharing   His   great   love with   the   world!   All   that   God   had   done   for   me,   for   my   family   and   for   others, all that He has for us!” Jilleen has been a part of ministry in many different ways.

A   Message   From   Jilleen…. When   someone   asks   me   what   my   vision   is,   I say…”I   want   to   show   the   world   how   much   God   Loves   them   &   that   He has   a   plan   for   their   lives”.   Salvation   is   for   Eternity,   but   with   Salvation, comes   the   opportunity   to   have   a   Relationship   with   Jesus .   We   CAN    walk with   God    because   of   what   Jesus    did   for   us   on   the   Cross   at   Calvary!      I have   walked   an   amazing   journey   with   the   Lord   during   my   early   years and   since   marriage.   I   have   had   wonderful   opportunities   to   work   with many   different   people   in   different   positions   outside   of   the   ministry,   giving me   a   very   “Real”   perspective   on   the   lives   of   people   and   what   people deal   with.   God   has   helped   me   through   some   very   difficult   times   and everything   I   learned   as   a   child   and   teenager,   was   put   to   practice.   I   can say   from   my   Own    Experiences   that   “ God’s   Word   is   True   and   Never   Returns Void ”.      I   know   what   it   is   like   to   get   to   a   place   where   you   feel   you   cannot go   on…a   place   of   brokenness   and   pain   and   God   has   been   faithful!   As I’ve   leaned   on   Jesus,   He   has   pulled   me   out   of   every   mess   and   given   me Joy,   Peace   and   Hope!      God   is   the   reason   I   Live   and   Breathe…He   is   my Everything!
