“Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth
out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the
nations. Then said I, Ah, Lord God! Behold, I cannot speak: for I am a
child. But the Lord said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go
to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt
speak.” Jeremiah 1:5-7
Reverend Tracey Y. Odum has been a
member of the North Stelton A.M.E. Church, Piscataway, NJ since 1979; at the
young age of 14, she accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior.
Reverend Tracey faithfully serves the Lord
in the ministry of Praise & Worship as the Praise Team Leader. It is her
desire to minister to God through Private; as well as Public Praise &
Worship. Because Reverend Tracey believes that it is not so much about the
quantity of the time spent but it is the quality of the time spent; her
desire to please God has grown tremendously. The Lord has given her a
special impartation & understanding of what it means to worship him in
spirit and in truth which causes her to yield to the Spirit of God allowing
Him to pour into her a yearning for Rhema praise resulting her to write
songs to not only minister to His people, but to bring glory to His name.
In addition to leading the people of God in praise & worship, the Lord has
deposited the ministry of intercessory prayer giving her the ability to
touch the heart of God lifting up that which is dear to Him, whether it be
salvation for the lost, healing for the sick, deliverance for those who need
to be set free.
