God gave Leonie a vision of a tall needle with a long dangling thread. She saw the thread in five different positions—a cross, a sword, a shield, a stitched heart, and a bridge.
As the vision continued, she saw herself helping women thread their needles, heal their hearts, cross over the bridge of the pain from the past, and rise to take back control of their lives. Many of these women became warriors who engaged in combat in desperate times. She saw herself teaching, speaking, and providing spiritual care to help women transform their lives. She knew the vision came from God, but she did not know how to turn that vision into reality. That was when she said yes to making Jesus Christ the Lord of my life. She got baptized at South Coast church. She pioneered The T.H.R.E.A.D Six-Step System a personal and professional development tool.
