RAVONDA JOHN is an ordained minister, author, and speaker. She accepted the call in 2001 and was ordained in 2005. Finding "the struggle to be real" when it came to receiving invitations to preach, Rev. John took to pen and paper to claim the world as her pulpit. This thought birthed her first book, entitled "Please Pass the Salt." Ravonda is the Founder of The Good Work in You Ministries. Her heart's desire is to "reach the masses" through the proclamation of God's Word, be it written or spoken. Ravonda and her husband, Jerome, lives in Laurinburg, North Carolina.
