Minister Taquoya is taking this world by storm with her quiet yet bold stance for Christ! Listen in as we get to chat with this amazing woman of God!
Please introduce yourself to our reading audience.
My name is Taquoya Porter and I am a wife, mother, youth pastor and minister.
What made you want to go into ministry?
I was called to preach when I was 12. When I told my mother of my calling, she said, “No you’re not. You are called to serve.” It took some time for me to understand what she was saying, but I do. I want someone to know Jesus because I do.
You’re not the only one doing what you do. Why should people believe in the work that you do?
They do not have to believe in me. My prayer is that the anointing and Holy Ghost testify of me in whatever capacity I serve.
What should people expect from you in the first quarter of 2020?
I am working on our camps, upcoming missions trips and other opportunities for my youth group to minister. I will do whatever the Lord puts in my heart to do.
What motto do you live by?
I want someone to know Jesus because I do.
What is your favorite quote/scripture?
Psalms 27:4
One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple.
