Meet Lady Trena Turner

 What an amazing life this is!

This life is full of wonder and amazement, ups and downs, and so many new experiences waiting to be had.  My life is filled with beautiful people (some that have pressed me to live my best Christian life, lol) and filled with people, perhaps even you, that are yet waiting for our paths to cross.  I am moved to encourage each of you, wherever you are on your own personal life’s journey, to take time out to realize that there is beauty, joy, and love all around you, you just have to find it.

I find joy and love serving in ministry with my husband, Bishop Rufus. Rufus and I were married in the Fall of 1978 and have shared many blessings and miracles over the years, as our God is a faithful God! What an amazing man of faith Rufus is, and oh, the laughter and great times we have, as we navigate through this journey.  I find joy and love in my family; two of our greatest accomplishments are our (now grown) children, Jbar and Tia; our grandbabies, nieces, and great-nieces/nephews, and also joy in all of the many children that God sends into our VIP ministry. We get to watch them blossom before our very eyes and go off to college, start families, and into various ministry roles!

I find joy and love in nurturing precious friendships that have withstood the test of time and the excitement of fostering new relationships; discovering personality traits, likes, and dislikes. For me, there is joy in reading, relaxing, bike riding, and occasionally in enjoying the theatre,  I find love in catching up with neighbors, sharing a good meal, and even in struggling with life’s hardships knowing that you have others right there fighting by your side.

Yes, life is full of disappointments and things that did not go so well.  I choose to keep ‘those’ times in their proper perspective and not let them cast lasting shadows over my joyous experiences.  I give God all the glory and honor for His blessings and His goodness.  This is a good life.  It is so good that I don’t want to keep it to myself.  I invite you to share it with me, share it with us.  Stop by our ministry at your next opportunity.  Come, be a part of Victory In Praise, experience the difference; experience the love.
