Elayne was born the 7th of 9 children on April 7th in Chicago, Illinois. Her parents moved their family to Memphis, Tennessee while she was young. She grew and blossomed there. Her family was heavily involved in church and Elayne came to accept the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior at the age of 11; around which time she also began to sing at church joining the mass choir at Bountiful Blessings Temple of Deliverance under Bishop G.E. Patterson. By 14, she was one of the main lead singers of the Mass Choir. It was there she realized that music was not only her passion, but also her ministry. She attended Overton High School, a school of performing arts. After graduating, she returned to live in Chicago and was a member of Monument of Faith Evangelistic Church, pastored by Apostle Richard D. Henton.
After a year or so of her attending Monument, the Lord spoke to Apostle Henton instructing him that Elayne was to work in his ministry. She began traveling all over the country with Apostle Henton, singing and ministering under the mighty anointing of the
Holy Spirit before he preached.
Since then and for many years now, Elayne has served as Praise & Worship Leader at The Body of Christ Ministries where her pastor is Apostle Larry Pratcher, Jr. This is an apostolic and prophetic ministry.
The praise and worship, therefore, is often straight from heaven, unrehearsed and divinely inspired. Elayne is a devoted wife and caring mother, dedicated daughter and loyal friend. Throughout her life, Elayne has truly come to know the peace, grace and pure love that Jesus has for us and since 11 years old she has been grateful to Him. It is out of this gratitude that she sings and makes music in her heart to the Lord.
