~ About the Founder ~
With a passion for touching and encouraging the lives of women to bring about meaningful change; Tereciah V. Smithen-Quintana’s mission is to bring
life change to women: by helping them live on purpose -- their purpose.
She believes that her role is to plant seeds of encouragement, or water the
ones that have laid dormant, waiting to spring forth from within an individual.
“To light a spark and change a life.”
Tereciah encourages and guide the Christian woman that is seeking and searching for knowledge that will bring forth the greatness she knows she has within her. Knowledge that will lead the woman to walk in her destiny; her purpose. By giving her practical knowledge from a biblical perspective God uses Tereciah to “light their spark.”
Not only does Tereciah enjoy helping women realize and achieve their dreams, she loves to write devotionals and short teachings that inspire readers to have a deeper relationship with God. Tereciah also reaches women through her weekly internet radio show, LifeSpark Live! She is the author of Life Spark: My Journey to Your Beginning, a book that chronicles her journey of living her life on purpose and the steps she took to get there. And the soon to air inspirational television show,The Phenomenal Woman In Christ Show!
As a child, a wife, a mother and a believer in the Lord, Tereciah knows and has experienced the lack of understanding; lack of support; and the lack of encouragement. To have the feeling of there should be more to life than what you’re living. To wonder what your purpose is in life; to have dreams and dare to live them. To trust God, when no one else sees what you believe him to do.
LifeSpark Ministries the parent company, was founded by Tereciah V. Smithen-Quintana after God placed a desire in her heart to touch the lives of women. Women that she could identify with. Phenomenal Woman In Christ was founded as another avenue to give those women visual encouragement. A way for them to see others actually walking out the calling God placed on their lives.
Tereciah accepted the Lord as her personal savior at the age of fifteen. But as many do, she wandered away from the path until years later she rededicated her life to Christ once more. As Tereciah grew into adulthood she always had this feeling of "there should be more to life than this" and never could seem to find it. One of her favorite sayings during that time of 'finding herself' was "I refuse to die and leave this world and not know what my [her] purpose in life is." Not sure what exactly she was looking for she tried searching for IT through what the world called success.
However, she still never truly felt 'complete'; it was though something was still missing from her life. See, being successful wasn't being happy. She had to find out WHY she was here. What was her purpose? Eventually, in a myriad of intense emotions, Tereciah called out to God to help her, to tell her why she was here on this earth. And He answered her. Now, she understands why she was allowed to go through the trials and hardships and low points in her life; to reach others like her. To inspire, to teach and to encourage others to spark life within themselves. To believe and most of all trust God.
Come, join us, and see what God can do in YOUR life!
