The uncertainty of the 1957 telecast Pastor Sheila Griffin’s arrival as a gift from heaven.

• Born to Betty B. Scott and Bernard J. Scott in Live Oak, FL.
• Her birth was wedged between the first U.S. military casualty in
  

  Vietnam and the beginning of the cold war;

• This was the year of bright days in the lives of former slaves in America as President Dwight D. Eisenhower and Vice-President Nixon oversaw the signing of the 1957 Civil Rights Act.
• October is the month when the USA added the words, “In God We Trust” on the U.S. Treasury paper currency.

Downhome, humorous, yet scholarly in presentation, Pastor Griffin birth was timed in the midst of international wars. She is a fighting fireball committed to sharing the “gospel truth.” Her style of delivery challenges and creates bridges from the frigid gap of separation between people to the torrid, red hot, pursuing love of God. She believes that every generation is responsible to transfer the wealth and knowledge of the Kingdom of God to the next, so that freedom will be established in every heart. The critical matter is
maintaining faith and trust in God.

She is credentialed by secular institutions gives special dedicated attention to sacred studies to bring make God heart alive in Christ in government, private and non-profit corporation, community, Christian Leadership, and ministry groups. The power of her conviction draws hearts to conversion and disciplined citizenship, with Christ as the Mighty One; and headship where He alone satisfies the most desperate need of humanity: forgiveness.
