Guest Bio

As a wife, mother, and grandmother (affectionately known as “Yaya”), Kenyetta Jeffries’ approach to ministry is deeply influenced by her experiences in family life. She is committed to creating spaces where individuals feel nurtured, supported, and encouraged to grow. Born in Michigan and raised in San Diego, California, Kenyetta has always drawn strength from her roots.

Kenyetta’s spiritual journey began at the age of 23 with a life-changing encounter during the 1994 Northridge earthquake. Awakened by the Spirit of God, she instinctively cried out to Him, leading to a supernatural experience that brought her to faith through Jesus Christ. During this transformative time, John 14:6 was highlighted to her, where Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life." This truth captured her heart and continues to anchor her call, reminding her that she is following the way, the truth, and the life. This encounter marked the start of her lifelong commitment to sharing hope and reaching out to those often considered unreachable.

In the mid to late 90s, Kenyetta’s ministry journey began in Los Angeles, where she was a performance arts teacher at Hollywood Little Red Schoolhouse. During this same period, she became a member of Church of the Harvest, under the pastoral leadership of Bishop Clarence McClendon, where she volunteered her time cleaning the church and eventually working with the youth. Her role as a teacher, combined with her volunteer work, allowed her to integrate her passion for dance and performance arts into ministry, using it as a powerful tool to connect and inspire.

In the fall of 1999, Kenyetta relocated to Monroe, Michigan, where she began her career within the airline industry while also attending and serving at Stewart Road Christian Ministries Center under Pastor Sam Luke. Starting as a volunteer, she gradually took on greater responsibilities, eventually serving as youth pastor. During this time, dance continued to be a significant part of her ministry, both in the church and through outreach. Her efforts led to the founding of Spirit of Dance, a non-profit dance studio, creating a space for young people in the community to express themselves and grow through the arts. In 2008, she was licensed as a minister under the leadership of Pastor John Hearns at Christian Faith Ministries in Garden City, Michigan, solidifying her role in ministry leadership.

In 2010, Kenyetta relocated to Cape Cod, Massachusetts, where she felt a calling to expand her ministry further. In the fall of 2017, she founded New Day Ministries, which marked a new chapter in her journey. Despite the challenges that followed, she remained steadfast in her mission to restore hope, renew faith, and embrace purpose.
