On Friday, April 18, 1980, she accepted Christ into her life, thus beginning her walk with the Lord.  In 1991, she accepted the call of God into the ministry.  Through much prayer, fasting, studying the Word of God, and being under the tutelage of God-fearing, Spirit-filled mentors, God has defined her specific call in missionary and evangelism.  He also uses her in the ministry of praise, worship and intercession, and the gifts of healing and helps.
 
On July 2010, she was consecrated and licensed as a missionary in the Church of God by Faith, Inc. under presiding Bishop Dr. James E. McKnight, Sr. Missionary Jones is a member of Believers United Church of God by Faith in Winter Garden, Florida, where her husband is serving in the capacity of Pastor under the leadership of Ruling Elder, Dr. James T.

Her heart’s desire is to be a totally yielded vessel unto God, to preach the gospel so that people will be won to Christ, to encourage and build up the people of God in the Word, and to teach them how to prayerfully and skillfully use their God-given weapons so that they will become courageous, conquering warriors in the Kingdom of God.
