Cherie Zack has served as the Assemblies of God South Carolina District Women's Ministry Director for the past year and a half.  Cherie is delighted to pray for, encourage, equip, and love the women of South Carolina in this role.  When she isn't planning, traveling, speaking, or training other women, Cherie is busy with her first and most important ministry position:  loving wife of Bill Zack and joyful mother of their four children.  To round out her active life, Cherie also co-leads a thriving online ministry, The Imperfect Wives, through a blog, two Facebook communities, and a live weekly radio program on BlogTalkRadio. Cherie's greatest pleasure in life is to spend time with the Lord in her secret place and her chief aim is to have all that she does in life be from the overflow of that intimate relationship with the King of Kings.

Heather Williams, after overcoming life trials of abuse, homelessness, poverty and more, brings her strong inspirational story and hearty talent for songwriting in an EP from INO Records. Williams’ background provides a unique perspective for her songwriting on her freshman EP. She grew up in extreme poverty with her mom and stepfather, and suffered abuse. Her mother gave her away at age 11, and Williams went to live with her grandfather in Michigan. Living with little guidance and the pain of past abuse and rejection, she turned to drugs and alcohol as a way to numb the realities of life. As things began to spiral out of control, the young teenager began to have thoughts of suicide and was even homeless at one point.

At age 18, however, the dangerous road Williams was on took a U-turn when she briefly reconnected with her birth father. Her father, a Christian, invited Williams to church. Here, Williams realized that she was at rock bottom, and decided to dedicate her life to Christ. It wasn’t long after this that she met and married her husband, and then had her first child, named Caedmen. Then, another wave of tragedy struck the budding singer/songwriter when Caedmen passed away shortly after he was born.

Today, Williams is grateful for how far grace has brought her. For Williams, she describes her songs as “conversations” that range in emotion, but all come from a place of honesty, brokenness and transparency before God.  Heathers radio single "Hallelujah" was in the billboard Christian top 20 for six months and was as high as #3 on the inspirational charts.  Her most recent ep is available for download and debuted at #3 on the iTunes charts.  She speaks and sings at churches and conferences all over America sharing her story of pain and God's healing touch.
