Candie has been listening to God and preparing for her destiny to come to fruition since 2003...
It was then that she came back to the love and path that God had made for her. She redirected her heart to Jesus and was called into ministry. Since that time, Candie has been doing many things with the guidance of the Lord. In 2005, she formed a horse riding group, Christian Cowboy Church Parade Team, and participated in events such as the California Rodeo Salinas, Relay for Life and the Artichoke Festival. At times there were over 20 riders who would ride for the Lord in Parades, rodeos, and special events. They also periodically teamed up with the California Glory Riders.
Candie has traveled with her music and ministry to many Churches, Cowboy Churches, festivals, and concerts. Over the years, she has been a part of events such as the Wild West Music Fest, Tule River's Miracles on the Mountain, Out of the Box Ministry, Crystal Rose Cowdog College Ministries, Salvation Army Holiday Donation Drive, Kingdom Center of Sweden and Prague, and many more. Candie studied and received her Stephens Ministry Certification of Lay Ministry at her home church, South Valley Community Church in Gilroy, California. During that time she also earned her ministry certification. She has been traveling since, ministering for churches, memorial services, weddings, baptisms and conferences.
Candie has had the awesome opportunity to do jail ministry, which was challenging but so rewarding. She is thankful to God for the heart He gave her and says "there's nothing like looking into someone's eyes and seeing their soul."
Although Candie has had many obstacles to overcome in her life, with a particularly difficult time from 2011-2016, she was given songs by the Lord that He wanted to get out to HIS people. With great love, compassion, and the heartfelt help of friends, family and mentors, she did just that. In 2016, the CD "Good Mornin' Jesus" was finally released. Since writing this album, she has been taking His songs all over the world to share His love, His message, and His music with her ministry, "By Faith."
