The beginning of PropheticWorshipBanner.com was in December of 2005 with a Christmas gift for my daughters Kaitlyn and Jillian. They loved to play dress up like most little girls. To foster their imaginations and give them something to share (they were 9 and almost 3) I decided a set of playsilks were the right item, and ordered the silk and dyes.
With the leftover fabric I made my first four flags. I began worshiping with them at home and brought them to church for the girls to use.
God has brought this ministry a long way, and me with it. I used to be the ultimate wallflower. I preferred not to be seen or heard. I was painfully shy and socially phobic.
Worshiping with the flags privately allowed the Holy Spirit to challenge me to offer up public displays of affection for the Lord. Stepping out of my comfort zone to where He wanted me (worshiping in the congregation) allowed further healing, more understanding about the banners and an enlarged territory. This fulfilled a prophetic word I received about being called to boldness. I remember not receiving that word. I actually said “No. I don’t want that.” That makes me laugh now.
Other prophetic words I received were that my flags would revolutionize the way people worship, I have since then patented my revolutionary flexible rod design. I was all told that my flags would go around the world and this also is true. Hundreds of missions and revivals have been blessed by the flags I have made.
Since then I have written two books, made thousands of flags, choreographed simple dances for beginning flaggers, taught and attended countless conferences, symposiums and worship nights as a vendor, teacher and worship leader.
One of the greatest joys in my life is to create a set of flags for someone who has never flagged before and be a part of setting their worship free in a whirlwind of color and dance before the King of Kings.
