Dr. Gripper loves being active in the community and understands that God will supply whatever is needed for the journey. Her deep desire is to engage more believers in kingdom-building by going into the streets connecting with God’s children while making a positive difference in the local “mission fields.” She attributes what is considered success to the never-ending grace of God, the support of her strong family, a caring, worshiping and supportive church and the wonderful leadership of her Bishop and Presiding Elder.  Dr. Gripper loves the Lord and has committed her life to serve God, as her mantra resonates with the words of David in Psalm 147:14: “He Grants Peace To Your Borders And Satisfies You With The Finest of Wheat.”
