As an ordained minister of the Gospel, Pastor Lisa graduated from Zion Bible College in 1986. She is a great source of encouragement to the body of Christ as she declares the goodness of God through anointed worship as Victory's worship leader. With the release of 3 gospel CD's inspired by heartfelt worship, Pastor Lisa continues to inspire and teach women how to follow hard after God's heart and to use their gifts for His honor and glory.
