Pastor Toon to New Bedford and it’s surrounding areas to bring a word of healing, restoration, and hope to the people. Her objective is to teach families, church members, and other communities to rise
and be healed. Pastor Toon has a Shepherd’s heart and is a leader in every
sense of the word. She currently preaches at the MCI Framingham Prison where you can see her passion and inspiration to work harder for Jesus
Christ. Her hearts desire is to make a difference in the lives of others.
With strong
conviction she believes “Where there is no vision, the people will perish” Proverbs 29:18 and is reminded of the
wise saying “if you give a man a fish he will eat for a day, teach him how to fish and he will eat for a lifetime”. Pastor Toon desires to teach God’s people how to fish, to maintain self-sufficiency,
self worth, to educate themselves in order to educate their families and the community.
She believes the best way to assure the success of an individual is to accommodate them holistically. Moreover, she wants to teach others how to apply the Word of God to break the bondage of poverty,
dysfunctionalizm, and generational curses that promotes drug and alcohol addictions, unwed pregnancy, gang involvement, and
broken homes and shattered dreams.
As a social
worker with the Department of Social Services she is faced daily with the task of reuniting families and with the responsibility
of finding homes for children who’s lives have been shattered and the memory of abuse, neglect, and violence is there
only connection to their family. Pastor Toon’s assignment is to bring families
together to show them the road to recovery through the Word of God.
Moreover,
she is a servant and a leader who knows how to follow Christ and is an exhorter. She
loves helping others reach their potential and believes that everyone should be given the opportunity to have the best quality
of life.
As God called
Abraham she too was called to New Bedford in September of 2001.
When Dr. Bishop Jenniefer Hightower presented her with her assignment from God through His Word, “Genesis 12:1-9”,
and like Abraham she departed and journeyed South of Boston
to posses the land. Like Caleb and Joshua she has taken back a good report that
the land is prosperous.
