Nikesha, being with Bible League for eight-and-a-half years, serves as U.S. Ministry Specialist. Whether it’s here at Bible League, or around the southside of Chicago, Nikesha is always finding ways to serve the Lord.

At Bible League, Nikesha knows that she helps make a difference.

I get a real sense of accomplishment from collaborating with my peers and improving the way we approach projects together. It makes me feel like my efforts have purpose and that I’ve made a difference on my team!

Nikesha was able to see the difference that Bible League makes in communities around the world.

In March of 2018, I traveled to Nicaragua as a representative of Bible League. It didn’t take long for me to witness the deep passion and hunger there for God’s Word, as ordinary people were making a real difference in their communities. New believers eagerly embraced their faith, and began sharing the Gospel with their families and neighbors right away.

They were unafraid to go door-to-door, inviting non-believers to join their small groups—or even host one themselves! I heard countless stories of people, families, and entire communities being transformed as they participated in Project Philip, and chose to share the Good News after coming to Christ. This experience was truly a blessing and a source of great encouragement for me.

Here in the U.S., Nikesha is actively serving as the hands and feet of Christ on the southside of Chicago.

I faithfully serve as a greeter at Disciples Church, because I believe everyone deserves a genuine smile and a warm welcome as they enter the house of the Lord. A simple, friendly greeting might be exactly what someone needs on any given day! I also serve at the Hope Center, an extension of my church that supports the underserved residents of Blue Island.

There we provide fresh produce, as well as hands-on learning experiences in gardening, technology, and small engine repair. These are practical resources and skills that help people become more self-sufficient. Occasionally, I volunteer at the Greater Chicago Food Depository.

I believe all people should be treated with dignity and respect, regardless of their socio-economic status. God has given me the capacity to serve in these ways as a servant leader.

Her tenacity for new challenges and opportunities comes from her favorite Bible verse

I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. Philippians 4:13 KJV

With the Lord’s help, I believe I can accomplish anything that aligns with His will. I suppose that’s why I’m always taking on new challenges!
