Meet PK - Pastor Karen
Pastor Karen Gay Napier envisions PK Kids PlayHouse for Disabled and Disadvantaged Children, Inc. shortly after her mom's death in 1997. Reminded of her childhood, Karen was born with corrected birth defects. She never saw herself as others did. Being called retarded, special and even different was strange words to her. Living an active childhood life despite what others would say, she was constantly reminded so many times of the things she could not do.
Reflecting back, her life can best be seen through the eyes of a bumblebee. It is said The laws of aerodynamics prove that the bumblebee should be incapable of flight as it does not have the capacity (in terms of wing size or beats per second) to achieve flight with the degree of wing loading capability necessary. Not being aware of scientists "proving" it cannot fly, the bumblebee succeeds under the power of God, of its own ignorance and perseverance. Through perseverance and patience, we can be just what we believe we can be. No one mentioned to the bumblebee he could not fly. If they did, would he have listened?
Never giving up on her dreams, Pastor Karen dreams are her reality. She dreamed as a child she would make a difference in the life of another "unique" child and is now living her reality as an adult.
As a Lupus Survivor, Pastor Karen is the founder of PK Kids PlayHouse, and servant of Abundant Grace Temple of Praise Outreach Ministries, Pastor Karen's Ministries, a member of the Deerfield Beach Historical Society, Bridge Partner Participate in The Bridge Network Covenant Fellowship and Lead Servant in the Grace Prison Ministry. Continuing her battle she is also a Breast Cancer Advocate of The J.I. Flowers Awareness Campaign; with a vision to continue to spread the Word of God outside the walls of the Church, Pastor Karen is an influential advocate with a purpose to eradicate breast cancer with a simple message of hope and healing. You may read her story at www.JIFBreastCancerAwareness.synthasite.com.
To add to the list, she is the mother of three plus two; Charles, Jatavais, and T'nesley, Jodi and Nevele and Grandmother of Jacoby, Charles the III (Jack Jack), Jayden and Jackson.
Her love for children keeps her grounded and focus while maintaining a healthy, balanced lifestyle. That love propels her to write a collection of children books with the emphasis on the disabilities of children; The Lamb called Melody, The Bumble Bee and the Frog, The Little Cedar Tree, The Whistle Blower and Black Howard.
