Laurie's Biography
Laurie was born into a Jewish family in
I had a lot of questions that went unanswered. I remember a lot of the "sermons" the Rabbi gave and very few had to do with Heaven, Hell or Eternal Life after death. I found the Old Testament very intriguing especially all of the history that is involved.
I was raised in believing in One G-d and all of His blessings He has given unto His people. I attended Hebrew school for many years as well as "Sabbath" school and still all of my questions went unanswered. I also remember a family member asking me if I actually believed all of the stories/history in the Bible. Then commenting that they (the stories) were actually a bunch of fairy tales!! I was taken back by this comment and felt crushed. Yet the Lord kept on speaking to me (It was either His voice I was hearing or the medication I was taking!!) especially during the night when I was asleep. I thought it would be awesome to be able to speak to G-d as a friend and to be able to ask anything of Him and it would be given to me.
At 12 years old I asked G-d to give me the gift of music & singing. It was at this time I felt a tugging at my heart and was given the desire to minister in the UK. As years went by, my best friend gave me her guitar and I practiced everyday for hours. I checked out a few books on chords from the library and I taught myself how to play. At this time I started to write lyrics and the melodies would come to me automatically. I knew this just had to be G-d since I couldn't even read or write music at the time. As my talent developed I had opportunities to play and sing in a variety of places from "Top Gun" in Miramar AB, CA to other military bases, restaurants and Lodges all over the San Diego area. My parents didn't know, I told them that I was going out with friends. (Actually my friends went with me. Sorry mum!)
Four weeks prior to enlisting in the
While in basic training I still worked on my music which led into several more opportunities to perform. I auditioned for "Tops in Blue" and "Star Search" and sang in several Commissioned and Non- Commissioned
I have now ministered /performed at The Louisiana Hayride,
Everything is in His Glory and in His time. Adonai Echad...... The Lord Is One.
Putting all politics aside whether or not we should be involved in the war, please hold them in your prayers.
My newest CD "Through These Eyes" is VERY eclectic. I sing some of the songs English/Hebrew, English/Yiddish (Kelzmer), English/Spanish, English/Arabic. I want to be able to touch all corners of the world with music, visual aids and dancing....

Laurie was born into a Jewish family in
Los Angeles, California and raised in San Diego, California. Her grandparents were from Russia, Germany and Spain and her parents are originally from New York. Let her tell you the rest in her own words.... I have always had a passion for music but was too shy in my younger years to pursue my interest. I remember the Lord calling me into the ministry, whilst sitting in the synagogue listening to the Rabbi talk about the tower of Babel and the people speaking in other "tongues", I knew then that the Lord had called me into His kingdom to minister to His people. I had a lot of questions that went unanswered. I remember a lot of the "sermons" the Rabbi gave and very few had to do with Heaven, Hell or Eternal Life after death. I found the Old Testament very intriguing especially all of the history that is involved.

Four weeks prior to enlisting in the
United States the Air Force in 1980, I was saved/completed at a David Wilkerson Revival .Talk about a significant turning point in my life! It was AWESOME! I never looked at people in the way I use to before this totally wonderful experience in my life! People still ask me when I "converted" I ask them when did Jesus, Y'shua convert? I am a Messianic Jewess a completed, renewed and I believe that OUR G-D is the Alpha & Omega. While in basic training I still worked on my music which led into several more opportunities to perform. I auditioned for "Tops in Blue" and "Star Search" and sang in several Commissioned and Non- Commissioned
Officer's Clubs. Years have passed and the doors continued to open for me.
I have now ministered /performed at The Louisiana Hayride,Texas, Mississippi, California, Florida, New York, New Jersey, Canada, Spain, Mexico, a Cruise Ship, Scotland and England. I have been a guest on several radio shows, including a BBC Breakfast radio show as well as in a couple of commercials. G-d's promises are true and He loves us so very much. None of these things in my life have happened out of "coincidence". Even through divorce, illness/cancer, 13 surgeries, 2 car accidents, the loss of my husband of only 2 1/2 years, in a tragic accident, my sons being sent to Iraq, 911 (I had to be treated in the hospital 2 times due to the fall out of all the toxins that burned when the Twin Towers fell). I refuse to let the enemy get the victory! G-d NEVER left me or my children. G-d started preparing me 25 years ago for the ministry that I have (In His name) now. I had to go through a lot of refining fires to learn. Everything is in His Glory and in His time. Adonai Echad...... The Lord Is One.
Putting all politics aside whether or not we should be involved in the war, please hold them in your prayers.My newest CD "Through These Eyes" is VERY eclectic.
