Five years prior to her starting Overflow International, Dr. D’Ann Johnson was the guest speaker at a Women’s Day service that I was expediting.  She preached a message titled “Where Are The Naomi’s?”.  My soul groaned within as I said, “Yeah!  Where are the Naomi’s?”  I then said, “Lord, make me a Naomi for more women.”  Dr. D’Ann told us that God was leading her to start a women’s mentoring program and she was only going to select 13 women to start with.  I whispered to the Lord and asked Him to please let her pick me but inside I thought, “She doesn’t even know me.”  She showed love to me after the service but I didn’t receive an invitation.  On the fifth year, I was at another church and was installed as the leader of the women’s ministry.  I knew exactly who I wanted to invite as our guest speaker – Dr. D’Ann Johnson!  Thinking that she had the women’s mentoring ministry/program well under way, I mentioned it as I introduced her and stated how my heart longed to be one of those people to be mentored.  She later told me that she had not started the program yet and I was invited to be a part of the first 13.  I was flabbergasted and overjoyed that God heard my prayer five years before and He was mindful of me!

Being a part of Overflow exposed me to other women who were Kingdom focused.
