Chairman of the Board
“The Board is committed to the original mission of ABOKIN Inc. and has been working diligently and tirelessly to further the ministry”.
As a 30+ year friend of Dr. Lindsay Thomas, he shared with me through the years the mission he was pursuing and the work he was doing on the African continent.
I was impressed with his zeal and integrity, and began donating to ABOKIN Inc. In addition to sponsoring several workers in both Kenya and Ghana, I also travelled with Dr. Lindsay Thomas to Kenya to help train Local Elders.
I also assisted Dr. Lindsay Thomas in gathering materials and in curriculum development for some of the trainings he was envisioning
to support the African workers. In 2014, Dr. Lindsay Thomas asked me to become a Board member for his newly organized ABOKIN Inc. Board.
In early 2015, he asked me to Chair the Board, and I have been serving in that capacity ever since. The Board is committed to the original mission of ABOKIN Inc. and has been working diligently and tirelessly to further the ministry. Professionally, I am a Health Educator and a Registered Nurse. As a Health Educator working for a Community-Based Organization and later for a
County Health Department, I devoted over 26 years to educating and training people, including health professionals, government officials, and educators.
By pursuing excellence and success, I distinguished myself as a local, statewide, and national leader in health education with speaking and training invitations from each level. I have taught in a local college for the last 16 years. All of these educational and work experiences are applicable to the ministry of ABOKIN.
Through work I’ve learned to educate, train, inspire, motivate, assess, evaluate, care for, lead, organize, and relate to diverse people. In addition, as a Seventh Day Adventist, I have held many leadership positions in the local church, including being Head Elder at two churches. I have also
served on Committees and Constituent Groups for the Local Conference and the Union Conference.
I understand Church Governance and Ministry Development. I am happy I said yes to Dr. Lindsay Thomas, and I invite you to become a part of this ministry also. This website offers many ways you can support this
mission. Please explore how you too can participate in this valuable work. Thank You.
