The deep rooted seeds of ministry were sown as she traveled to many countries singing and teaching alongside her missionary father as a young woman in South America. Her mother, a native of West Africa, Ghana encouraged her to believe God for what seems impossible.

Myshel's Something Extra: "The power of discernment is the something extra every leader needs. People hear, receive information, and communicate differently... you've got to be able to see and hear beyond what is being shown to you. You have to be able to discern a heart and know how to deal with them. It will not always be cookie cutter situations when you are a leader and so, I believe the power of discernment helps you to know with wisdom how to deal with everyone you are working with."
