The Lord has blessed in and through Laurie and
her career at Cedar Bay.  She became a
certified ministry assistant in August 2002.  She
has completed the American Association of
Christian Counselors training and CareNet (a
pro-life course for working with men & women in

Orleans Baptist Seminary.
Laurie’s vision for ministry is very clear and apparent in both her actions as well as her
words.  She stands very strong in her beliefs and faith.  When asked to give a personal
account of her vision for ministry, she responds by saying, “I believe that the Lord has
brought me through many difficult situations throughout my life, and has put me in this
place at this time, to be used to minister to someone, at sometime in their life, when they
are experiencing the same or similar hard times. I believe He has placed me here “for such
a time as this” and I will continually seek His guidance for my position at Cedar Bay and for
my life, now and in the days to come.  The Lord has opened many doors of ministry for me
and I always strive to do my best. I believe that we all ought to strive to be the best in all
that we do for the Lord”.
