Position Desired: Assistant Chaplain

 I am submitting my name for consideration for the position of Assistant Chaplain for the Eastern Region of the Federated King’s Daughters.

In times like these, we need a Savior.  In times like these, we need an Anchor.  As we gather together year after year, a difference in our lives should be seen.  In order for this difference to occur, our prayer lives must change.  We should always expect answers to our prayers; either immediately or at a later time.  One thing is certain, and that is the answer will be revealed in the Lord’s time.  Jesus wants us to trust Him.  For it is this trust that helps us develop our faith in Him and, ultimately, gets us ready for His Kingdom. 

As Assistant Chaplain, I will help us develop this trust by providing thought provoking devotions and worship.  With this as the hallmark of our organization, we can’t help but experience a closer walk with the Master.

I am currently serving in the following capacities at the Mt. Sinai Seventh-day Adventist church in Orlando, FL:

1.      Vice President of King’s Daughters Chapter 1

2.      Assistant Leader of the Senior Citizens Ministries; responsible for preparing the worship services that we share with the sick and shut-in members that we visit

3.      Assistant Sabbath School Superintendent, and Upper Division Coordinator; responsible for anything relating to the Adult Sabbath School classes

4.      Member of the National Alumni Association Oakwood College Central Florida Chapter

5.      Member of the Mt. Sinai Junior Academy Alumni Association

6.      Assistant Head Deaconess

7.      Member of the Floral Club  

I have read the duties and responsibilities of the Assistant Chaplain.  If elected, with the help of Jesus, I am ready and willing to fulfill these requirements.  I am committed to helping each one of us get a little closer to heaven.  Even so, Lord Jesus, Come Quickly!!

                                                                                     Prayerfully submitted,                                                                                               

                     Harriett Howard

Position Desired: 1^st Vice President

I would like to introduce myself, I’m Alpha Q. Footman, and I am candidate for the position of 1^st Vice President of the Eastern Region of Federated King’s Daughters.

 I’m a Christian woman, wife, mother and an Entrepreneur; I decided to make Jesus my choice over 40 years ago, and I am committed to serving Him in spirit and in truth until the day I die.  Because I am committed to God’s Service I offer myself in His service and am desirous of continuing to serve as your 1^st Vice President. 

 I have a deep compassion and love for King’s Daughters, and I feel that if given the opportunity to continue to serve this organization as 1^st President, I will work toward helping us to achieve a higher standard of excellence, and help open the doors for younger women to be inspired to become a part of this great spirit-filled organization.

 As women of God we have shared the love of Jesus Christ to a dying world in our actions and deeds by doing so, we have touched the hearts of women young and old.  We have encouraged them through our actions and motto to keep their eyes on Jesus trusting Him with all their hearts.  Because of my sincere desire to serve the Lord, King’s Daughters has given me a passion for caring about others that I have never experience before.

 I’ve been married to Joseph Footman Sr., for 25 years, I have 11 children and 13 grandchildren.  I attended Valencia Community with an AA Degree in Secretarial Science. 

 I’m presently employed with Orange County Public School at University High School as an Administrative Support Assistant; my employment with OCPS has exceeded 13 years of service.  God has placed me in a position and given me the opportunity to touch the lives of students, and parents each day in a special way as they see Jesus in me they are touched by His love.

 I’m a member of Mt. Sinai Seventh-day Adventist Church in which I have served for more than 35 years.  Prior to becoming an Adventist, I was an ordained minister in the Methodist Church.  I have served in many positions as a Seventh-day Adventist Christian; Women’s Ministry Coordinator, School Board Member, CDC Board Member, Personal Ministries Secretary, Assistant Secretary to Treasurer’s Department, Home and School Leader, Assistant Church Clerk, Deaconess just to name a few.

 I have been a member of the King’s Daughters organization for more than 17 years.  I was a member of Orlando Chapter I, for more than12 years and presently serve as President of Orlando Chapter III.  I’ve held several offices in the Eastern Region of Federation King’s Daughters as followed; Secretary, Assistant Secretary, Convention Coordinator, 2^nd Vice President, and presently I serve as 1^st Vice President, all together totaling 16 years of service.  “To God Be the Glory … Great Things He Has Done”. 

It is a privilege and honor for me to be a King’s Daughters in service for my King and my sisters, but I must confess, the work is not easy, but the rewards are great.  If I am re-elected to serve as your 1^st Vice President, I will continue to give of my time, talents and finances freely to your service.  I will always put God first in all that I say and do, will constantly pray for each of us they God will strengthen and keep us as we continue to be about our Father’s business of winning souls for His kingdom.  It is a continuous challenge, but I’m willing to take on the challenges with all that is within me because; “I can do all things to Christ which gives me my strength.” 

 The Lord has given me many talents and I have committed them all to His service.  I’ve devoted many of these talents in service to you my sisters in Christ, because I truly believe in our motto:  “Lifting as We Climb.”  Therefore if God impresses on your hearts to allow me to continue to serve an awesome group of God fearing Christian women; I will commit myself to your service, and whatever I find my hands to do, I will by God’s grace do it to with all my heart, soul, mind and strength to God’s name, Honor, and Glory as a servant of God and the Federated King’s Daughters. 

 Thank you for the many years of service as your 1^st Vice President, and I am looking forward to continue the work God has called me to do in His Name.

 Sincerely,

 Alpha Q. Footman
