Esther Marie Ziph

Esther Marie Ziph is a quiet mother who depends on prayer to Jehovah and her garden to survive. She is constantly amazed at the designs of her Creator and never tires of learning His ways. Esther is a thankful mother of 13 and looks forward to a joyful family reunion in heaven when all her children can be together again. Her desire is that the awe and honor of Jehovah be magnified in this work. “O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker. For He is our God; and we are the people of His pasture, and the sheep of His hand.” Psalm 95:6-7
