To everyone who knew her, Candace Johnson was a kindhearted, thoughtful, and dedicated wife, mother, and servant of God. She served alongside her husband Jesse in full time ministry for twenty-five years promising to go wherever God would lead them. As a result, God used her to impact countless people by her godly testimony and outspoken witness for Jesus Christ. She faithfully studied God’s Word and read good books and journaled what God had taught her. She was the mother of three boys and two girls, all of whom she deeply impacted, training them to live lives committed to their Saviour. She also mentored dozens of ladies who carry on in her absence serving the Lord as she did.
