LADY TONEY
This powerful woman of God is a spiritual mother to all. Born in Detroit, Celeste Toney faced a plethora of hardships growing up. From living in different houses to being placed in a homeless shelter, she never lost her faith. With God on her side, she has been able to conquer every obstacle. She is proud to tell her story around the world about the wonderful things God has pulled her through. Being a minister and an evangelist of the gospel, her powerful word reaches all. While currently the praise and worship leader, she also started her T.A.G. Ministry (Teaching About Godliness) to teach women in the community about the way of Christ. Married for over 25 years, she is a devoted wife and mother of three. Her saying is that her husband is the head of the house, but she is the “neck” and his support system. Lady Celeste’s goal is that everyone she comes in contact with comes to know about Christ and has the opportunity to be saved.
