Lolita serves as President of the 3^rd District Missionary Department of United Metropolitan Churches of Christ, holding that title for the last 4 years.  Ms. Chew is also the Director of the Children’s ministry at St. Anthony House of Prayer.

While dealing with serious health problems and raising 5 children, Lolita endured an abusive relationship for 22 years.  She coaches from a compassionate heart that understands because “she’s been there”.  Despite the cruelty that she’s endured, she still manages to walk in love and not under a retaliation mentality of “an eye for an eye”.  She realizes the courage, strength and faith in God that is required to leave and pursue wholeness.

In addition to her ministerial duties, her coaching skills were also developed while working as a supervisor for the US Post Office where she mentored up to 50 employees. 

While never giving up in her faith in God, Lolita’s laughing and living her life to the fullness.

Felicia moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1986 with her husband to attend Rhema  Bible  Training  Center. During the following years she worked as a teacher, motivational speaker, and the Director of Children’s Church for Praise  Center  Family  Church.  In these roles, Felicia was able to hone her coaching skills.  She coached adults in professional skills and personal challenges and currently teaches high school where she is also able to make an impact on today’s youth.  After supporting her husband through school, she also attended Rhema  Bible  Training  Center.  Felicia also holds a Bachelor Degree in Communications, Radio and Television.

After fifteen years of marriage, her husband decided he wasn’t happy and abandoned the marriage. This left Felicia to raise two kids on her own. At the time she had two choices, trust God and keep living OR give up. Those are the same choices a lot of us have. We all know according to the headlines today people don’t forgive and walk in love when it comes to divorce. We live in a society where people want  to kill or get even. 

Felicia decided she wouldn’t become one of the statistics. You are familiar with the statistics? The statistics say that after divorce, a woman lives below the poverty level. She doesn’t accept that. The statistics also state that the majority of women won’t marry again after divorce. Not buying it. Statistics show that children from divorce homes grow up with more baggage than children from two parent homes. Not God’s best, so not accepting. Last but not least, statistics show that people abandoned in a marriage abandon God.  NO WAY. Instead of giving in to  the statistics she decided to do something about it. She found a way to help millions.

Felicia is the author of the book entitled, Hurry Up and Get Over Your X.  The book is designed to assist people with getting over failed relationships and the response has been overwhelming. She has been on several radio shows and received numerous emails from people needing  assistance with going on with life after divorce.

For the pass two years she has been freelance writing for local newspapers and magazines. She also had an advice column called Flava In The City. She still gives motivational seminars and workshops and because of life lessons, she does it with love, joy and a zest for  the God kind of life.

Scripture to live by: Psalms 37:4 Delight yourself in the Lord and HE will give you the  desires of your heart.

 Lynne’s a recently divorced, single mom to a healthy, active, and very smart 7-year-old.  Although Lynne hopes to marry again, right now her focus is raising her child.  Lynne is thankful for each new day, realizes how blessed she is, and believes she’s “Living Her Best Life Now!” 

Lynne wrote a short bio about 7 years ago that said, “My husband and I have been married 3 years and dated for five.  It was a dream of mine to find the perfect man and be married on Valentine’s Day and my husband made it happen for me.  July of 1999 my other dream came true when our baby was born.  I cannot imagine a happier life than what I have now.  While my family was not military, we moved every 4 years until settling in Virginia, where I graduated from Radford University.  Before our baby was born, I was a professional.  I have over 18 years in the computer field; most of which was in the management of training and development departments; and co-wrote two computer books on the Novell network operating system.” 

My how times change...  Lynne thought life was great.  Her ex-husband; however, had a different view.  He is career military and upon returning from a 6-month deployment decided that he no longer wanted to be a husband or a father.  The news was a total shock and even more surprising - she later learned that he’d ended his first marriage (with children the same age) at pretty much the same time, 13 years earlier.

Lynne always dreamed of a happy family, growing old with her husband, and all the dreams little girls have.  She also realized that God has a plan and that the best thing you can do when faced with adversity is to hold your head high, maintain your dignity, and look forward.  Lynne looked long and hard, spoke with family and friends, and knew in her heart she’d done almost everything she could to be a good wife and mother.  The best she could do now was to put her child first.  She’d many women who begged and pleaded for one more chance; those willing to change; and all the other things women do to keep their men happy. 

After 15 years together she realized that it did not matter what she did, her husband needed something she could never give him – self worth.  Lynne realized that until her husband could learn to love himself, he could not love anyone else or totally give himself to that person.  He was one who always felt that his success or self-worth was measured by what he wore; the car he drove; the “toys” he had’; or various other material possessions  The saddest part was that he had it all, the big house, the nice car, the clothes, etc. Each time he’d buy something – it was “the be all end all”, but it was never enough.

Today her focus is on raising her child to be the best person possible.  She does not want either of them to become one of “those statistics.”  Lynne is hopeful that the morals and values in which she is raising her child will provide a good foundation in which to build loving and trusting relationships.

In addition to a fulfilling career, Lynne has spent the majority of her life volunteering for social, charitable, or civic organizations.  She’s always felt blessed with what she had and wanted to give back.  Lynne currently manages a USO Center, and in that, capacity is able to help and support the military men and women who are out there fighting for our great Nation.

Lynne lives by the motto of “Life Is What You Make It”

Juanita hails from Chicago, Illinois.  After graduating from high school, she enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps, where she served for 7 ½ years.  During her last year of active duty, Juanita met and married her husband, who she spent 17 years with.  Juanita held the position of Legal Assistant with various law firms throughout the years, while juggling major health issues and three young children, of which, the youngest two are twins.

Juanita is a “survivor,” and learned in 2001 “whose report she would believe.”  Due to a severe heart ailment, the doctors gave her less than one year to live if she did not have a transplant.  During the battery of tests, it became impossible to have the transplant because she was also diagnosed with kidney cancer.  That is when she decided that God had to have a reason for keeping her alive and after beating the odds of a failed heart and surviving and overcoming one of the deadliest forms of cancer, Juanita knew that she had to do something different.

After 17 years of marriage, Juanita decided that there had to be more to life than a mundane existence in an abusive environment.  So she made the decision to walk away and make a better life for her three daughters, who are now young ladies.  It has been during the course of this past year that Juanita has come full circle, and the “report of the Lord,” which she chose to believe, has proven true.  Juanita’s heart is functioning at near normal capacity, she is living life, enjoying her daughters, back to work and opening her heart to help others.
