Exh. Bambi Brown
Die Suidoostelike jurisdiksie CLGI
Exhorter Bambi Brown is 'n getroue lid en sendeling by The Pavilion, CLGI, en sy het 'n belangrike rol gespeel in die kerk deur verskillende fondsinsamelings te begin. Exhorter Brown het begin deelneem aan die verkoop van Krispy Kreme Donuts & Dinners om haar plaaslike sendingdepartement te help om fondse vir die kerk in te samel. Sy gee komberse, jasse en kosbakke uit aan haweloses en help ook om noodstelle vir die gesinne in nood of weens onvoorsiene tragedies te skep. Sy bedien elke Vrydagoggend ontbyt by The Well Shelter, sowel as versamelde nie-bederfbare artikels wat donasieblikke met blikkies goedere skep wat as deel van hul Community Outreach-program aan die Sparrow Nest gegee is. Verder het Exhorter Bambi aan die "I Love Brunswick Event" deelgeneem. Tydens hierdie geleentheid het Exhorter Bambi klere geskenk, kos bedien, gesing, gebid en Bybelskrifte gelees as 'n aanmoediging vir diegene wat langs haar tafel gestop het. Sy het ook 'n "Pizza Day" -geleentheid in The Well Shelter beplan waar sy pizza bedien, liedjies gesing, gebid het en Bybelse tekste aan haweloses voorgelees het om hulle aan te moedig. Soos ons in St Johannes 5:17 lees, is daar altyd gevind dat Jesus die wil van die Vader doen, en dat ons as sendelinge altyd die wil van die Vader moet doen. Enigiets wat haar kerk of sendingdepartement vereis, is dat sy daar sal wees om te help

Min Levera Frazier
The Southeast Jurisdiction CLGI
Minister Lavera Frazier is the eldest and only daughter of Pastor Edith and Bro. Michael Frazier. As the firstborn, Min Lavera Frazier is wise well beyond her years. You can ask her siblings, who will attest they often look up to and trust her advice. Through the Lord's leading, guidance, and direction, her parents joined the Church of the Living God, International (CLGI) in 1993. At that time, Min Lavera Fraizer was only six years old. As a new member, Min Lavera Frazier's immediate desire was to join the choir. At that time, young Lavera Frazier was elated when Elder Arlene Merriman called upon her to lead the song, "Where do you stand, Whose on the Lord Side?". Soon afterward, Minister Lavera Frazier realized that the Lord had a special calling upon her life. Min Lavera Frazier came home at six years old, stating, "the Lord told her she was not like the other kids and never will be," recalled her parents. The Lord certainly made quite an impression upon Min Lavera Frazier, which led her to faithfully accept her calling into the ministry at twelve years old. After high school, Minister Lavera Frazier attended Clemson University for two years. Then, Minister Lavera Frazier spent 1.5 years at Lander University. Minister Lavera Frazier would eventually graduate from Greenville Technical College with an associate degree in Science. Not satisfied, Minister Lavera Fraizer studied for and received her real estate license in December 2021. Still seeking to develop professionally and build upon her many talents, Minister Lavera Frazier went back to school to pursue a degree in Entrepreneurship in Business from Spartanburg University, where she will graduate in 2022. As a minister of the gospel, Minister Lavera Frazier seeks to edify, exhort, and encourage the saints through the word of God. Minister Lavera Fraizer is also an aspiring musician who taught herself to play the keyboard. Minster Lavera Fraizer commented that one of her desires is to become a skilled musician like Elbernita "Twinkie" Clark, an American gospel singer, songwriter, composer, record producer, musician, and evangelist. Minister Lavera Frazier enjoys and prefers to serve behind the scenes while doing the Lord's work. Minister Lavera Frazier has an ardent desire to see the church move forward by utilizing her skills, talents, and abilities to enhance every aspect of the church.

Additionally, Min Lavera Frazier provided detailed instructions for churches to establish an online presence via website designs and Goggle maps.
