Searita Jones

President & Founder

 

Raised in Pensacola, FL., Searita never imagined that she would become Founder and President of a Christian based outreach.  Although she grew up in a Christian environment and served in many capacities in church, it was not until August 8, 2011, after having an encounter with Holy Spirit that she dedicated her life to The LORD.  Searita answered the call of God to minister and was licensed in 2017.  She received credentials with the Independent Assemblies of God International (Canada) and was ordained in 2022.  She is the Prayer and Outreach Pastor at The Lakeside Church (TLC), Toronto, ON, also she’s the Host of ‘A Burning Love Moment Podcast.’

 

Driven by an enduring faith and dedication to seeing lives changed through Christ, she shares her personal testimony of the many struggles and sufferings from a life of drug addiction to one that is filled with love, power and hope.  She is passionate about helping others overcome the darkness and despair of drug addiction.  Searita takes to the streets monthly to serve the marginalized in her community.  Her goal is to see them become empowered to experience a greater life than ever imagined.  My quest is for the lost to have a life changing encounter with God.

 

In addition to her commitment to serving God’s people through evangelism, Searita is a devoted wife, mother and grandmother.  She resides in Canada with her husband Tim who is her biggest supporter.  She enjoys entertaining in her home, traveling with Tim, and loves spending time with her family.

Bison Grip Creator and CEO

Joel Itwaru

I started Bison Grip because I saw a need where people are struggling with their bags. I aim to provide a solution for this struggle with my product.

 

When designing it, I wanted the customers to feel a sense of pride and confidence when using it. I spent a lot of time looking at trending designs and features that customers are looking for while also providing simplicity.

 

Running my own business has advantages and disadvantages. As the CEO, the business is only as good as I am, so it constantly pressures me to be on top of my game daily. It forces me to improve and explore to get better.

Steven aka Heavy

Steven Rafael Gomez Salguero (aka Heavy) | Motivational Speaker

My name is Steven Rafael Gomez Salguero aka Heavy. I am an emcee, poet, actor, bass player, epilepsy ambassador, motivational speaker and an artistic educator. After recovering from a severe car accident that left me in a coma in 2006, it changed my perspective and journey in life, from negative lifestyle to living positively.

Now I use different forms of art to speak about my life experiences (before and after the accident), social justice and promote mental health awareness.

Mixing entertainment with education is the best way to engage with any crowd. If I can do it, you can do it better!
