At an early age, the Lord put a call on Renee's heart to fatherless homes. She then founded the National Fatherless Campaign in 2000. Her efforts were embraced by Dr. Billy Graham, who donated extensive radio air time to her on 'Decision Today'. Experiencing the wiles of addiction that occurs in broken homes, she became an advocate to youth and families thereafter. Shortly after her conversion to the Lord at the age of 22, the road for speaking and teaching was paved by the local Baptist community where she served for many years.
