ljoiner@christlifechurch.org

Hi, I'm Leigh-Anne. I am an Assistant to the Church Administrator and am primarily responsible for office administration. In addition to working with the full and part time staff at Christ Life Church, I also am blessed to be coordinating our Information Center.

Basic Stuff:

I was born in Zimbabwe and moved to South-Africa when I was 3 months old. I grew up in South-Africa and moved to MI in 1999. I lived there for 6 years and loved every moment of it, except for the snow. In 2005 I relocated to NY. I did not stay there very long as later that year the Lord move me to AZ, where I was blessed to meet my wonderful husband, Aaron Joiner. We were married September 1, 2007. I count myself very blessed to be able to serve at such a great place, to be apart of a church that desires to see our community reached is wonderful. My heart's desire is to reach and teach this next generation about the saving grace of an amazing man named Jesus.

Birthday: June 2, 1980

Education: B.S. in Arts from the University of Michigan.

Interests and favorites

• Places: South-Africa, Mozambique, Botswana, anywhere in Africa... (If there is a beach and some sun, count me in).

• What's on your iPod: If I had one, I would have praise and worship, classical, piano and yes, country.

• Books: Anything on living a life of excellence and integrity. Christian living, leadership and intercessory prayer. I must say that the best book I have read to date is 'Intercessory Prayer' by Dutch Sheets.

• Movies: Anything funny or something with a good storyline or historical.

• Hobbies: Painting, crafts, travel, reading and hanging out in the sun.

• Dislikes: Being late, disrespect and waiting in check-out lines.

• Odd Facts: I am a Leukemia survivor and praise God every day for the life that He has blessed me with. When you walk though the Valley of Death and are blessed to walk-on and walk-through, you embrace life.

• Life Scripture: "In Him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of Him who works out everything conformity with the purpose of His will." Ephesians 1:11 and also Isaiah 61.
