Pastor Young and the God Inspired Inspired Apostolic Church (GIAC) has housed many homeless souls, mainly those that realized their need for the Lord and came and surrendered their lives to God, so they would not go back to alcoholism, drugs, the streets, etc. in an attempt to help them in their walk in life.  Many souls have been born again, healed and delivered under this ministry. Most Sunday’s she prepares a free meal for the homeless and the church.  

She accepted her call to the Ministry in 1982; obtained her ministerial license with the Pentecostal Assemblies of the World, Inc. in 1984 and was ordained by the Midwestern District Council on July 15, 1988.  She exemplifies the Love and Power of the Holy Spirit in every aspect of her life.

She was employed at HOPTAN as the Executive Secretary to the Pastor for about 17 years. God has also used her to Chair offices such as the Young People’s Dept, Evangelism Team, Hospital Chapel Ministry and President of the Ministerial

Alliance for about fifteen years.  She has also worked faithfully with the Evangelism Team, Door to Door ministry, Street Ministry and the Prison Ministry. 

Evangelist Young received her Bachelors degree in Business Administration from the University of McKendree in Lebanon, Illinois in June of 2007. She has also received a certificate of professional ministry study from the Bethesda Temple Bible Institute, St. Louis, Missouri; attended Gateway Biblical Counseling School working towards her Masters in Biblical Counseling; one class away from receiving an Associates degree in Early Childhood Education; she has a Bachelors, Masters and Doctorate degree from the Midwest College of Theology.  She is the founder and Instructor of Midwest College of Theology at GIAC and has since graduated several students with their Associate, Bachelors, Masters and Doctorate degrees.  

She was a Board member of the Southern Illinois Regional Wellness Center located at 1736 Kingshighway. Washington Park, IL until they closed.

She has been worked with the Women Against Gun Violence throughout the Metro area and Fairview Heights Illinois.

She is presently a member of the Metro East Organizing Coalition chaired by Pastor Larita-Rice Barnes and Pastor Juard Barnes which is a faith-based community transformation initiative created for the express purpose of building a personal and collective growth culture in the Metro East area and East St. Louis in particular, with a commitment to ending gun violence and mass incarceration, as well as a continued effort to seek justice for slain loved ones due to gun violence.

She is very busy in the ministry of Evangelism, preaching in her home church, as well as the surrounding areas, in and out of state and overseas.  Her God given ministry involves ministering to both the bond and the free. The Lord has given her not only a ministry, but a burden for the singles as well as the married couples. She is the author of “Marriage God’s Way.”

She is a praying woman of God who believes in spending intimate time with God in prayer and in the Word of God. She is presently faithful prayer warrior on Jesus is Lord Apostolic conference line hosted by Pastor Regina Long and on the Wailing Women Prayer line founded and hosted by Evangelist Vanessa McDonald.

One of her greatest desires and passion is for lost souls, doing whatever she can to draw them to the Lord, giving God all the Glory for everything she does through Him.  Through it all she yet remains humble and submissive to God and serves His people with utmost respect, compassion and the Love of God.
