The ambition of AMPERS& is to remind you that to live for oneself falls shy of a purposeful life. As the collective body of Christ, we can share our wealth and strengthen others by giving to those in need. All proceeds go to trusted ministries that help the needy, building churches for the gospel of Jesus Christ and furthering the education of ministry school students.
And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’ - Matthew 25:40
THE STORY
AMPERS& was birthed from an encounter with God where I experienced the ache of His heart for those He loves dearly. It seemed that this encounter was kindling as a little girl, sparked in 2013 and then set my heart ablaze in 2018. Simply put, AMPERS& was a stirring inside me to use my business to tend to the destitute. I wanted it to be intentional, truly hearing the voice of the Lord and responding to what and who I hear His heart beating for.
It was on my bed, August 2018, that I felt the deep compassion of the Lord wooing me to serve homeless women by giving them menstrual and hygienic products as my first mission. I gave my yes, believing that a missions trip can be anywhere I'm standing. I made the necessary plans and used all I had made from selling my first batch of AMPERS& earrings to buy the items needed.
At the time, I was in university and my campus had a pantry that provided free food, hygienic supplies and miscelleanous goods. I took whatever they had and added it to my stash. I didn't have a car at the time so, I strapped on my white hightop converse—shaking in my skin with an acute awareness of the spiritual realm—and walked to the bus stop to take an hour ride to Lake Eola. When I arrived, I immediately felt a fresh move of the presence of Jesus around me, on me and within.
The girl who was afraid to pray in front of people was kneeling and weeping at the feet of the homeless while calling down the fire of God for them in the bustling park. I will never forget what God did to me; the courage He cemented in my bones and the fellowship of His Spirit during this precious time in my life.
CURRENT DISPERSING:
Jesus Image I hungered for the presence of God in a magnitude that would beautifully dismantle me beyond repair. In December 2018, in the midst of my thirst for righteousness, the Lord led me to this watering hole. It has been my home church since then. My stay here has been a pivotal part of my walk with the Lord and it would mean much to me for you to hold my hand in this endeavor. We are currently building our new church, as we have never had building to call our own. See the video here. Give directly to the building fund here.
Jesus School This is my church's ministry school that truly changed my life by plunging me into the depths of knowing Jesus in ways I've only dreamed. All proceeds will go to students who are in need of tuition.

General Needs Those who need help in any area of life, big or small.
AMPERS& is something I do quietly, tenderly and at my own pace for God in this sacred space. Therefore, I won't promise to always post every impact, but will share testimonies from time-to-time as I feel led. I do want you to know your giving is blessing others. I am grateful that you would partner with me in loving Jesus in this way.
Be blessed!
