Linda P. Israel is a willing and dedicated servant of God who believes in using the gift of Love as a super-natural force against the enemy. A native of Chicago, Illinois, she was born to Robert and Willie Mae Peat who resides in Ripley, TN. Linda is the fifth of nine children and the second oldest daughter. After experiencing a near fatal accident, God saw fit to spare her life for such a time as this. God snatched her from the hands of the enemy as he sought to take her life while in the midst of her sins. Linda knows that if it had not been for the Lord hearing her cry, she would not be here today. That accident was not by accident...it was meant to kill her! It was blocked and set her on a path to experience God in a supernatural way! She had PURPOSE and God has work for her to do; and that is to tell sinners that Jesus lives, and he desires that they have life and it more abundantly. Linda equates her relationship with God to be one such as that of Jeremiah and holds fast to Jeremiah 29:11; "For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future." When God speaks, she listens, and then yields herself to His direction. Linda believes wholeheartedly in doing whatever her hands find to do, knowing that ministry is all about finding the need, and then meeting it. As a speaker, seminar facilitator, ministry leader and author, she finds time to yield herself to serve others through volunteerism. She is the founder W.E.O.W. Ministries (Women Encouraging Other Women) and serves the National Missions Department of the Church of God in Christ as The Atlanta Awakening Coordinator, Evangelist Missionary and she is the Public Relations Coordinator with Cathedral of Faith Church of God in Christ in Atlanta, GA, under the leadership of Bishop Arthur F. and First Lady Sheila M. Mosley. Linda is married to Keith Israel, and they currently reside in Atlanta, GA. They have the modern-day BRADY BUNCH of seven (7) adult children combined: Keith Jr., Courtney, Brittney, Kaitlyn, Jenay, Victor & Jayda; and 5 beautiful grandchildren.
