Kara is a lover of family, travel, policy, cooking and baking.
My journey of faith and ministry began in the beautiful islands of Trinidad and Tobago. I grew up in a small village called Carenage, where I attended Carenage Western Pentecostal Church. It was there that my journey as a believer began and where the foundation of my faith was established.
Over the years, my passion for prayer continued to grow. One of the most significant parts of my prayer journey began at Calvary Cathedral of Praise, where I attended a Wednesday morning prayer meeting. At that time, Sister Trumpet was in charge of the prayer meeting. This experience helped me to develop and strengthen my personal prayer life.
I later continued my journey through another prayer meeting on Tuesday mornings at Calvary Pentecostal Church under the leadership of Pastor Marva Thomas. These two prayer meetings played an important role in helping me grow deeper in prayer and develop a greater understanding of the power and importance of prayer.
In 2018, I started my own prayer group. We meet from 3:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m., dedicating ourselves to seeking God through prayer and intercession. Prayer has become more than something I do—it is a passion and an important part of my life. I believe in the power of prayer. I believe that prayer works, and I strive to live by that conviction every day.
My ministry journey has also included serving others in practical ways. I send barrels containing food, clothing, and school supplies to help families in need. I also assist different ministries whenever there is an opportunity to provide support. My desire is to be a blessing to others and to serve God by helping people both spiritually and practically.
My Education in Ministry
My desire to grow in God's Word and become better equipped for ministry led me to pursue formal ministry education. I am currently attending School of Ministry, where I am working toward obtaining my Bachelor's degree in Ministry. By God's grace, I expect to graduate in July 2027.
My educational journey has included:
2024 – Certificate in School of Ministry
2025 – Diploma in School of Ministry
2027 – Expected Bachelor's Degree in Ministry
Each step of this journey has helped me grow in knowledge, faith, and my ability to serve God's people.
Livin Word Ministries
Alongside my prayer group, I am also involved in Livin Word Ministries, a ministry centered on prayer, encouragement, spiritual growth, and reaching people with the Word of God.
My desire is to create opportunities where people can seek God, experience the power of prayer, receive encouragement, and discover the hope found in Jesus Christ.
When I look back at my journey, I can see how God has used different people, prayer meetings, experiences, and opportunities to shape me. From my early days as a believer in Carenage, Trinidad and Tobago, to the prayer meetings that helped develop my prayer life, to starting a prayer group in 2018 and pursuing my education in ministry, each step has been part of my journey.
Prayer is my passion. I believe prayer works, and I believe there is power when God's people come together in prayer. My desire is to continue growing, serving, and being a vessel through which others can experience the love, grace, and power of God.

Davian Prospere
Allow me to introduce myself—my name is Davian Prospere. I am proud to say I was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, where I earned recognition as one of the Top Ten talented students at Samuel J. Tilden High School. My enthusiasm for technology ignited when I was just 11 years old, setting the foundation for my future endeavors.
Beyond the ministry, I maintain a strong partnership with Min. Roslyn Doyle, as a skilled technical support specialist. In 2020, during the pandemic, I took on the dual roles of Technical Support Specialist and Minister under her guidance. This experience allowed me to effectively manage media and technical support for Livin Word Ministries, demonstrating my commitment to both service and innovation.

Michelle Soodeen
Michelle gave her life to Christ as a teenager and have been committed to serving Him ever since. Her faith has been the foundation of my life, and throughout the years she has sought opportunities to use her gifts and abilities to serve others and contribute to the work of the ministry. Her passion for technology became more evident, and even more purposeful, during her time working at the West Indies School of Theology. she quickly became the person people would call whenever they experienced problems with their computers. What began as simply helping others with their computer issues soon developed into a genuine passion for technology. Recognizing the need to improve her knowledge and skills, she pursued courses in Computer Repair and Maintenance, including learning how to build computers from scratch. she also began building and selling computers to individuals who needed affordable and reliable systems. To further strengthen her ability to assist others, Michelle completed A+ and Network+ (Net+) courses, giving me a stronger foundation in computer hardware, networking, troubleshooting, and technical support. Her journey with technology also opened another door of opportunity within the ministry. she was asked to work on a website for the ministry, something she had never done before. Rather than allowing the unfamiliarity to discourage her, she embraced the challenge. It became a journey of learning while doing, researching, developing new skills, and trusting God throughout the process. she is grateful for the opportunity and for the confidence placed in her. It reminded her that sometimes God gives us opportunities not because we already know everything, but because He wants us to learn, grow, and use what we have to serve others. Today, she continues to be committed to this ministry and to using her skills, knowledge, and willingness to learn wherever she can be of assistance. Whether through technology, ministry support, or simply being available to help someone in need, her desire is to continue serving God, serving people, and using her gifts for His glory.
Jennifer Gale Chrysostom
Jennifer Gale Chrysostom was born in Port of Spain, Trinidad. She accepted Jesus Christ as her savior as a teenager. Jennifer migrated to the United States in 1982 and has lived in Brooklyn, New York since then. In 2012 she began to fellowship with Kingdom International, now Truth & Light Ministries. She became the Women’s Group Leader approximately three years later and has held that position until now. She met Minister Roslyn Doyle when she began a small group in her basement aimed at helping people resolve relationship trauma through prayer and support. Leading a small Bible Study was also one of the highlights, which subsequently led to questions and Minister Doyle’s teaching on Scripture. This group evolved into Livin Word Ministries. Jennifer is also involved in another ministry that does community outreach. Serving the underprivileged with clothing, meals, counseling and prayers. Since retiring from her secular job after Covid, Jennifer has dedicated herself to ministry. Serving God is her priority and living her life in obedience to his word
Angela Parone
I am passionate about prayer, giving, and reaching out to those in need. My journey with the ministry began during a time when we gathered for prayer in the basement. Even when there were only two or three of us, we remained committed, encouraging one another and believing that God was in the midst of our gathering.
What started with a small group of faithful people and a commitment to prayer has continued to grow into a ministry that seeks to make a difference in the lives of others. Through the years, I have remained committed to supporting the ministry and helping those who are less fortunate.
One of the areas that is especially close to my heart is giving to charity and providing hampers for families and individuals in need. I also have a deep passion for reaching out to children's homes, providing assistance and letting children know that they are loved, valued, and remembered.
I believe that giving is more than simply providing material things—it is an opportunity to show God's love through our actions. Whether it is a food hamper, a helping hand, a word of encouragement, or simply taking the time to pray with someone, I believe every act of kindness can make a difference.
I am grateful to continue working alongside the ministry in the area of giving and outreach, helping to provide hampers and support to those in need. My desire is to continue serving, giving, encouraging others, and being a blessing wherever there is an opportunity to do so.
