Edna Klein (right in the picture), mother of 3 children and grandmother of 7, has had decades of experience serving the Lord through the local church as well as a para-church organization. Women's Aglow was very fruitful in bringing multitudes into the full gospel during the 70s. She is an experienced Bible teacher, has organized and led retreats as well as ministered overseas. Each year, starting in 2016, Edna and Pat Miller (on the left) have ministered in Nakuru, Kenya to assist at a conference and a crusade. Visits to the women's prison and residents of the city dump proved life-changing. Seeing thousands living in deep poverty brought a strong perspective to life in the US.

     Meeting hopeless women who were imprisoned for prostitution since they had no legal marketable skills was heart-rending. Bishop Mike L. Brawan had been rescuing a few at a time, as he was able to pay their fine, and was equipping them to run their own shops. His vision was to erect a building where many women could be trained for a few months and then be set up in their own business enabling another group of women to enter the training program. Edna saw no reason why the funds for this project could not be raised in the US and this led to the birth of GroundbreakersNJ.
