Gia Wheeler

Greetings everyone! I am Gia, the wife of Brian. My heart and passion are helping people through the hard times and introducing Yahweh to them with a loving and Biblical approach.

Like my twin sis, my spiritual beliefs are rooted in the Bible only and all praise to Yahweh, I live my life based on how I feel convicted to live through Yahshua Messiah who is my Light and my Shield.

I am a stay-at-home wife and mum to three beautiful children (one biological and two bonus children). I enjoy gardening, canning, cooking for my church family, baking, studying the Bible, and painting.
