Patricia kept a Kosher home for many years until she met her Messiah, Yeshua. In researching her family's heritage and their name, Picone, she found many are living in Jerusalem. Additionally, the Lord has given Patricia a ministry. It is called Lydia. On Saturday mornings, she texts women individually, a scripture with a short story to encourage the women.
