Ellen5e (Ellen) Spencer’s Summary
My online name is Ellen5e because there are five E's that summarize my mission in this life.
Exalt God - Offer praise and thanksgiving to my Lord and Savior through song, word and deed.
Equip The Saints - continue to learn then teach and practice the Truth as learned from the study of God's Word.
Edify the Body - help, serve and build up others to best of my abiity
Examine Myself - keep short accounts of wrongs & walk uprightly
Evangelize the World - let the light of God's love shine.
My passion is Communications. I believe that it there is nothing more important than relationships. Likewise, there is nothing more important to nurturing those relationships than communications.
Whether through words spoken, written or sung; depictions through photos, fine art or video; or through the process of sharing our presence with another to just "be there". . . the power of communication has the unique ability to heal wounds and unite former strangers. I am passionate about that!
