Harrington has been a minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ for over fifteen years. She has kept journals of her faith walk, dreams, and encounters with the Lord during that time. She served under the tutelage of Rev. Willie C Barnes, Pastor of Macedonia Missionary Baptist Church, for about ten years. In 2015, she received her calling into the ministry. In December of 2023, she decided to answer the ongoing nudging of God to publish a guide to teach others how to pray strategically using the word of God. Nyiesha is the founder and Chief Architect of Arise Global Ministries and Women Arise International. She is known for bridging the gaps, building unity amongst leaders, and helping families become healthy families by bridging the gaps surrounding health, social, and economic disparities. Nyiesha believes that people who hear a speaker become more astute when they have materials to help them remember the words to apply to their lives. However, as a minister of the Lord, she still believes the Bible is the main source of knowledge. Prayerfully, this journal will help provide some support on how to pray strategically for different areas of life. She contacted a publisher who told her in order to complete the book before their next conference, she needed to not just write the book, but all other aspects of the book with tasks performed by others must be completed within one week’s time. Believing that God directed her to get this done, she took a week off work, dropped everything, and focused on writing. In miracle-like fashion, everyone working on this effort completed their tasks on time. Her book became available on Amazon on December 16. With just one day of sales, the book shot to the top of Amazon’s best-seller list! Apostle Nyiesha is a native of Jacksonville, graduated from high school in St. Peterburg and lived in Tallahassee for 11 years, before moving to Winter Park, where she still resides. She received a bachelor’s degree from Florida State University, a master’s degree in public health with an emphasis on Epidemiology from Grand Canyon University, and is currently pursuing two doctorate degrees: one in Health Administration at Grand Canyon University and the other in Theology at Northwestern Theological Seminary.
Rev. Shine, Founder and Senior Pastor of Greater Faith AME Church in Deltona, and President of the West
Volusia/Seminole Section of the National Council of Negro Women, was born and raised in Sanford. Upon receiving her BS Degree from The University of Central Florida in Environmental Engineering and Technologies, she worked for the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) for 33 years. This was where her enthusiasm for mentoring began. During her 30th year at DEP, they begin restructuring. Due to her seniority with the department, she was asked to initiate a mentoring program. This program paired seasoned staff with newer employees. The program was ongoing and structured to provide new employees with the tools that could be utilized throughout their careers. During the project, she made the discovery that these individuals were doing and saying things that were biblical, they just didn’t know it. She then saw that there was a thrilling connection between mentoring and scripture. Having already obtained her Master of Divinity degree with emphasis in biblical studies from Asbury Theological Seminary while employed with DEP, she went on to earn her Doctor of Ministry degree from Candler School of Theology of Emory University in Biblical Interpretations. She set out to educate women about scripture, help them elevate within ministry, and encourage them to tell stories of women in the Bible. This was the inspiration for her book, which is self-published. It outlines the structure of her mentoring program, which includes a mentoring curriculum guide. The guide outlines key players needed for the program and the responsibilities of each party. Female ministers, women’s groups, women from different industries interested in biblical principles, and anyone who wants to be mentored can benefit from reading this book. Rev. Dr. Shine resides in Deltona.
