लेखक: Cynthia Griffin

I was born and raised in Jersey City, New Jersey. I was uprooted and moved to Baltimore, Maryland in 1967 for three years. I moved back to Jersey City, New Jersey in 1970 and attended one year of the 8th grade at PS # 22 school. I attended Lincoln High School and graduated in 1974. I attended Saint Augustine’s College in Raleigh, North Carolina and graduated in 1978. I married Terry Griffin, my college sweetheart, in 1979. I became a mother for the first time in 1980 to a son, Terry Jr. Three years later my daughter, Cynetheia, arrived in 1983. In 1999, my family was extended by two, Chelvia and Christopher, who were blessings from the lord. I have also been blessed with two granddaughters, one eight, and the other is five months old. Their names are Khalani and Ariyah. My husband and I are members of Open Door Church located in Suffolk, Virginia. I have been a member since 1992 and my husband joined in 1999. My husband and I are leaders in the church. Our ministry is providing counseling to couples having marital problems; however, God has frequently blessed us with the opportunity to speak outside of the church, and share our testimony with others on how God saved our marriage. My husband and I enjoy proclaiming the gospel, and sharing in its teachings with others.
