At the early age of 6  Neresa’s family was faced with a traumatic situation. Her mother

Patirica Ann Taylor, was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor and was advised to have surgery

to remove the tumor. During the procedure the doctors that performed the surgery ended up

removing her pituitary gland instead of the tumor. This resulted in her mother having a stroke that left her completely paralyzed on her entire left side and unable to speak. She became bedridden needing 24 hours around the clock care and went from weighing 130 to 400 pounds. The doctors that performed the surgery were found to be under the influence of narcotics during the operation and this became one of the largest malpractice lawsuits in the United States. Her mother passed away 6 years after the surgery when Neresa was 12 years old. Neresa was raised Catholic and during the course of the 6 years that she watched her mother suffer her family was in constant prayer but saw zero results. They prayed for God to heal her, “if it be His will”, preformed their rosary prayers, and begged God every night to do something. After her mother passed away, Neresa received Jesus personally as her Lord and Savior, however she was very much immersed in religion attending Catholic school, constantly going to confessions, and working to be accepted and in right standing with

God.

​

During Neresa’s teenage and college years she experienced depression, indulged in all kinds of sin and ungodly lifestyles and completely separated herself from God because the church she grew up in taught that you can only approach God when you were living right. The harder she tried to live right and be pleasing to God the more separation she placed between her and God. This went on for decades and left her completely helpless and suicidal.

 

During the Covid19 pandemic  there were shutdowns across the state and one of the major shutdowns was the church. Neresa's home church was apart of those shutdowns so ultimately she began to seek other avenues to draw closer to God. At that time Neresa began to see that the void in her life could not be satisfied with money or anything else that the world had to offer. She became so hungry for the Lord  and ultimately turned off all outlets and immersed herself in the Word of God. She began to seek the Lord with all her heart and came across teaching that spoke of the goodness of God, her new identity in Christ and God wanting His people well. This was totally contrary to everything she grew up hearing, so she saturated herself in the Word at least 13 hours a day. Neresa began to move out of the religious traditions she had been brought up in and went  from Religion to Relationship with God.

​

23 years later on the same day that her mother passed away Neresa received a phone call that

her father had a stroke and that he would need brain surgery. Due to the truths that she had immersed

herself in over the years her Father had a radically different outcome than her mother did. 

 

The Lord has commissioned Neresa to move people out of what they can do for God and be

pleasing to Him, and into understanding the Finished works of the cross and what God has

already done for them. Her ministry is founded on understanding what truly takes place when a person gets born again and their new identity in Christ.
