{The Calling}
Min. Natasha has been teaching the gospel for over twenty-eight plus years. At the age of 19, God saved her and placed a burning desire within her to see everyone come into the knowledge of Christ and be saved, especially the children, by using tools such as art, singing, teaching, and prayer. Shortly after her salvation, Deaconess Izetta Thomas saw her gift and immediately put her to work alongside her in Sunday school, working with the youth. Other mothers in the church, First Ladies, ministers, and saints saw the same gifts and provoke Min. Natasha to follow hard after God, to become efficient in the word and to develop a passionate pursuit of Christ. Although, Min. Natasha immediately started assisting others in the ministry; it was not until the spring of 2005, when she accepted her call into the gospel ministry under Pastor Lee B. Walker, Sr. of St. James Missionary Baptist Church, Montgomery, Alabama.
