Mary considers herself a worshipping warrior. Her passion is to be a part of God’s Kingdom here on earth. Her burden is to see the wounded warriors come into wholeness and be set free so that they can be a vital part of the army of the Lord Jesus Christ. Her Vision is to see the harvest brought to the Lord Jesus Christ. Her commitment to God the Father is to become a 24/7 place of worship and prayer and then to help establish a 24/7 place of worshipping, praying, teaching, preaching, and deliverance
