From a life of humble beginnings in Attapulgus, Georgia, Apostle Charlotte, affectionately called "Charlie" by family and friends, completed studies in Computer Science at Allentown, Pennsylvania, then went on to further studies in Special Education at the Kutztown State University, also in Pennsylvania.  In 1974, Apostle Charlotte married Shingles Hayes. From this marriage of 22 years were born Mankell Hayes, her son, and Rose Shavi Hayes-Wright, her daughter. She has since become the proud grandmother of 6 grandchildren. And recently, at a time when she had accepted as fact that she would never marry again, a stranger gave up his assigned seat on an airplane and moved to the seat next to Apostle Charlotte. They talked and prayed and the Spirit moved to bring them together; in May of 2008 Apostle Charlotte and Jay Jeffreys were married.  Gifted in communications, Apostle Charlotte owned and operated several consulting companies that put her in the marketplace where she still utilizes her gifts in the kingdom.She has traveled extensively all over the United States and briefly outside the country. An entrepreneur blessed with professional success, yet God had another plan.  In 1987, the Lord called and elevated Apostle Charlotte and through a dream came the instructions and name of her ministry - then called Divine Direction Ministries, a ministry for hurting people, geared to men and women that were homeless, imprisoned,and simply needing love. She  providing food, housing, and spiritual guidance.  During the latter years of Apostle Charlotte's marriage to Shingle Hayes, life took a profound unexpected turn, as her husband was diagnosed with HIV and AIDS. Choosing to stay with her husband, she took care of him until he died of AIDS. Through hard and trying times filled with joy and much pain, the Lord drew Apostle Charlotte even closer to him, having no one else to depend upon. Many turned their backs on them. She stands today as a "miracle and living testimony" of the goodness and true faithfulness of God -- as she herself was never infected with the virus. To God be the glory!   Presently walking in the fullness of her calling, Bishop Apostle Charlotte is the spiritual mother and overseer of several churches in Maryland, Atlanta, Austin, Jamaica and works very diligently spread the gospel and preventive information concerning HIV/AIDS awareness in the church.    She currently is under the covering of a ministry that is covered by Bishop Bill Hamon of CIF who is the spiritual father of the Apostolic Movement Pioneer.  Get ready --- for an awesome move of the Holy Spirit!!
