Tammy was born in Georgia and raised in North Carolina. She is uniquely gifted and called to minister to women in the inner city and the suburbs. She has ministered the Word to small and large crowds, touching the poor and the wealthy with the message of Christ.

As a child, Tammy’s deepest desire was to have a dozen children, red, yellow, black, brown, and white, just like the Sunday School song. Raised in North Carolina, she approached their first startup with some fear, wondering what a small-town girl could say to an addict, gang member, or prostitute.  As she began to minister on the streets, she discovered that God had already prepared her for the task and, through the ministry, would fulfill the desires of her heart.  She became a mother to the hurting, the broken, the homeless, and those trapped in prostitution and addiction.

Jim and Tammy are the proud parents of seven children and eighteen grandchildren. Their children grew up in an environment of gangs, bullets, and prostitutes. As children, their beds were positioned away from the windows to protect them from stray bullets. They learned early to trust God for their protection and resources.

With her husband, she traveled across the United States, living and ministering in some of the most dangerous communities in our country.  Making her home in violent ghettos, rat-infested skid-row hotels, and houses no better than shacks, she raised her children, protected them from harm, and taught them that Jesus does indeed love the little children.  She also mothered neighborhood children, helping them find their way, dream of a better life, and serve Christ with all their hearts.

Tammy now lives with her husband outside a small town in North Carolina.
