Jonie Dodgens is an ordained minister, talented soloist and worship leader from Sacramento, California. Blessed with an extraordinary gift of music and an insatiable desire to reach the lost for Christ, Jonie is a warrior for the kingdom of God, using her voice as a weapon in prayer and to create a ministry in song.
Her mezzo soprano voice is lauded by religious and traditional audiences alike. Known for her strong operatic voice, she calls her traditional vocal styling “Opera Gospel.” Jonie sings the classics and more contemporary gospel melodies using her anointed voice.
Jonie is not afraid to take her gift to the market place. “I am clear about my calling. God has given me a gift that I can take into any church or into any organization, and the outcome will always be that Jesus is glorified through my song. My desire is to reach people for Him, whoever and wherever they are.”
Her other ministry work includes, outreach services, counseling, and monthly healing and deliverance services. Isaiah 61:1 reads in the King James version, “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound.” Life Under the Son Ministries, an outreach ministry which Dr. Dodgens founded, has programs that range from Designing Women for Destiny, which provides help for women who have been challenged by drug and alcohol abuse, to the Elijah Institute; both have this as its foundational scripture and guiding principal.“ |
