About Betty Swann

Betty Swann, mother and grandmother (and now amazingly, great-grandmother!!), has become a world changer, changed by the love of Jesus Christ.

Raised in the small town of Sweetwater, Texas, and now living in New York City, Betty received a B.S. in Education from Texas Tech University, a M.Ed. from Texas A&M University, was a public school teacher in Texas and a university teacher at Ithaca College, Ithaca, NY. She is an ordained minister through Kingdom Global Ministries.

Betty Swann has served the Lord more than 40 years as a teacher to young people, singles , adults, and was the head of a 6000 member church's women’s ministry for seven years.

Her passion for people to know the life-changing power of Jesus has given her a strong commitment to minister to people in need from the jail cell to the “girls on the street", from the country club to political heads of state.

Her burning desire is to see a person improve in all areas of life because of the power of the Holy Spirit. Betty is direct in her approach and sensitive in her heart. Men and women, young and old, are challenged to a new level when they encounter Jesus Christ through her ministry. Lives are changed as they encounter the power of God.

From 1996-2004, Betty led teams of women to the nation of Belarus, a republic of the former Soviet Union, to train leaders and to establish the concept of women’s ministries in the local churches throughout that nation.

She now partners with other mission organizations, denominations and churches from other countries around the world in order to reach a multitude of men and women. Betty's heart for the world continues to take her into new ministry ventures.

In 2005, she began taking teams to Africa while continuing to speak around the USA also. In 2006, Betty began a worldwide TV teaching ministry through God's Learning Channel . Also in 2006, she began the Pennies From Heaven Project, whereby people from everywhere can donate pennies to feed the world.

God has done amazing things in this ministry and to God be the glory!

"All of my life I have had a love for people living in poverty. I enjoy them, I feel comfortable around them, I see the good in them, and I like to hear what they have to say. I have always wished I had a way to help them in a big way, but never saw how that could happen. I remember asking God who the poor were in America now, and he told me single moms, old people on social security, and young people trying to go to school, as well as regular poor people that you see all the time.

The Lord began to show me years ago that he would use me and the money I would make in various ways as a way to help individual people when they crossed my path. It started when Him saying, “Some people only need a dollar or two. Give it to them and they will be able to buy school supplies for their children.” Or He would say, “This old woman is on social security. Five dollars will make a difference to her. Give it to her.” So I started doing it. Then, I began to notice that as I would do a speaking engagement somewhere and make money from it, right after that a need would cross my path that was the exact amount I had made and I knew God had done it for me to give to them.

About twenty years ago, he began to show me I was a “conduit” for people to give money through me to people in need here in the USA and around the world. He showed me that it meant helping all kinds of people in all kinds of situations, not just poor people. It could be used for drilling water wells in Africa, buying computers, giving college scholarships, transportation for pastors, building orphanages, feeding people, lots of different things to help people. The Bible says it is more blessed to give than to receive and I believe it. There is a joy in partnering with other people and with God to meet the needs of others. There is nothing like it!"
