To that end, she has conducted research on pastors' wives and published the results in her doctoral dissertation, resulting in the first ever scholarly research on African American pastors' wives. In additon, Donna is a clinical social worker and educator and finds ample opportunity to lift the name of Jesus Christ in these secular positions as well.

My name is Peggy and I have been saved since 1978. I have been a PW since 1979. My husband is a solo pastor and has pastored our Church since its beginning in 1988. We serve in beautiful North Carolina. We have been married since 1973. We are Independent Baptist and by that I mean we are a self governing and a self supporting church. Our church is Bible Missionary Baptist Church. We have a Christian School and a Children's Home where we take in teenagers who have had problems at home or in school. They all have had a problem with people in authority including their parents. I have 6 children, 3 boys and 3 girls all adopted. My oldest son Daniel was born in 1974, and middle son Phillip in 1988, Alex in 1990. My girls; Christine born 1978, Brandi born 1985, Sarah 1986. The Lord and Christine have blessed us with two beautiful Grand Children. Elizabeth born in 1999 and Isaiah born in 2001. I have a third Grand Child Hannah who was born Jan 12, 2005 who I am raising. I have had her since she was born. What a blessing she is to me. I joined the Fishbowl in 2000 and it was a life line for me. I thank God for this board and all the wonderful friends He has given me here.
