Women Of Purpose Spotlight

My name is Kenya Wilson. I’m a proud mother of four and a loving grandma to two beautiful grandchildren. My husband and I have been married for thirteen years. I was born and raised in Louisville, KY, by a single mother who did her best to guide me through life. Looking back, I can say without a doubt that my life has been a miracle from the Lord. Last December, I turned 53—something I never imagined when I was younger. There was a time when I didn’t think I’d even make it to eighteen, but here I am, living proof of God’s grace.

God has saved me for a purpose: to be a helping hand to other single and married mothers, reminding them that they are never alone—Jesus is always with us. My first encounter with Jesus was at just twelve years old, a moment that truly saved my life. Though I’d love to share that story, I’ll save it for another time. In my early twenties, I took a step of faith and was baptized, officially giving my life to God.

Before COVID-19, my family attended a Baptist church here in Louisville, but after the pandemic, we started visiting different churches. That journey helped me realize that Jesus isn’t about religion—it’s about His Spirit living within us. It also opened my eyes to the fact that God had more work for me to do in my community and for His Kingdom.

When I found Believers Church, I didn’t immediately consider myself a member. My family and I visited for about a year before I finally made the decision in September 2024 to become a full-time member. Since then, I’ve been baptized in the Holy Spirit and feel on fire to serve God’s Kingdom. Now, I serve in the church café and lead a small group called Saved Mothers Helping Single Sisters. We meet on Wednesdays from 5 PM to 8 PM.

Our small group would love to have you join us! We dive into God’s Word, support one another, and share our testimonies and struggles. We also plan fun, kid-friendly outings for mothers with children.

You may not have it all together, but God has placed a gift inside you—something He wants to use for His glory and for your good. Seek Him, and He will reveal it to you. One verse that has given me peace and understanding is Jeremiah 29:11. God is always moving, always changing lives. Discover what He has planned for you in His Kingdom!
