Karin Klingensmith
Deaconess
 
 After 2 years in one denominational church and 20 years in another one, I was invited to attend a Saturday night Bible Study in the home of one of the Home Interiors girls in my Unit. Pete and Shirley Valdez were the couple leading the Bible Study. When Pete began talking about Nicodemus asking Jesus how a person can be “born again”- I couldn’t wait to ask him where that was in the Bible. The Southern girls in Home Interiors always ran around asking each girl if they were “born again” and because I went to church I assumed that I was indeed good to go! That was 40 years ago and Pastors Pete and Shirley have mentored all those who wish to know and belong to Jesus. How blessed I am to be part of Jesus Is Lord Ministries!

Anita Torres
Elder

 

Anita Torres was born and raised in Adrian, Michigan and is the proud mother of grown children Zachary, Zeke, and Zyanna. She accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior and has been a member of JILM since 1990 when services were held in personal residences before we obtained our first building.

   Anita and her late husband Carlos Torres became elders in approximately 2001. She functions well in the ministry of helps and assists with God’s Handmaidens. Anita oversees the food and clothing ministries, helps coordinate church dinners for guest speakers and special occasions, and assists with the teen class once a month.

   She has worked at ProMedica Bixby Hospital for 16 years, and her current position is endoscopy technician.

   Anita enjoys spending time with her family and loved ones, taking walks, visiting lakes, decorating, and thrift shopping. She especially loves the summer months and enjoys people that can make her laugh and appreciate life.
