Priscilla has studied the Bible through educational courses, online teachings and bible based books for over 40 years and continues today. "Study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." 2 Timothy 2:15
Outreach has been Priscilla's focus for over 30 years. Her songs and scriptural prayers provide hope and encouragement in prisons, detention centers, nursing homes, hospice hospitals, homeless camping sites, and shelters as she networks with ministries and social service organizations to distribute resources along with food, clothing and toiletries. Lives have been changed by the love and word of God through her ministry.
In November 2021, Priscilla and her late husband Pastor Elder Dr. James Napolean Jenkins, Jr. co-founded The Compassion of Christ Church DC, Inc. (COCCDC). She assisted COCCDC in several administrative roles, co-taught Bible Study, ministered songs and scriptural prayers on their Channel "Compassion of Christ Church DC". They partnered with other ministries and churches to do Outreach in Washington, D.C. In July 2022 when the Pastor became ill, she taught the word of God for Sunday services on their YouTube Channel for several weeks.
Pastor Elder Dr. Jenkins passed from this life's journey February 21, 2023. Priscilla honored his request to end Compassion of Christ Church DC after his transition to heaven. However, past services and "Remembrance of the late Pastor Elder Dr. James Napolean Jenkins, Jr." videos and SHORTS can be viewed on the YouTube channel @compassionofchristchurchdc.
