From the rural hills of Hanover, Jamaica, Pastor Deon Rose's journey is a powerful testament to God's transformative power. Raised in humble beginnings, she once lived a life far from faith, ascending in her pursuits without God, which nearly cost her everything. In 2010, fleeing for her life, she arrived in Canada, separated from her children and family back home. Amid the emptiness, God intervened with a divine "stop order," redirecting her path through roadblocks that led to surrender.

Singing "I Surrender" as a prayer, Pastor Rose experienced a profound encounter with Christ, breaking shackles of sin and shame. What began as survival evolved into a calling; she now serves as the assistant Pastor of the Ottawa Seventh-day Adventist Church, passionately preaching about new beginnings and letting God into every corner of life. Her message? No matter how deep in sin or struggle, Jesus' blood rescues and redeems— she's living proof.

A mother to her cherished children, Pastor Rose finds her greatest joy in seeing lives transformed for Christ. Her motto echoes her story: "It is never too late for God's kingdom purpose to be realized in your life."
