A graduate of Cass Technical High School’s Avocational Music curriculum, Dayna’s heart for ministry began here in Detroit through street ministry. Her calling has since expanded globally, including a study abroad in Israel, where she prayed in the areas where Jesus prayed, and extensive ministry throughout Africa— teaching and prophesying in villages, schools, orphanages, and open-air crusades. She holds a Bachelor’s and a Master of Business Administration from Tennessee State University, as well as a Master of Divinity from Regent University. Furthermore, she successfully completed the Harvard Law School pre-law program. Mentorship remains a central pillar of Dayna’s life. Having overcome great personal hardships, she intimately understands the challenges of facing peer pressure, the influence of the streets, discouraging educators, and the complexities of being a young person of faith in an increasingly faithless world. She also facilitates a robust mentorship program for middle and high school students, corporate workers, writers, retirees, and college students from Wayne State University and Regent University, focusing on scholastic achievement, faith, writing, and personal finance. She is currently a writer-in-residence with the city of Nashville and she serves as a writing faculty member and mentor at a major writer's conference. Dayna has been with the Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN) since 2005 and currently serves as the Employee Engagement Manager, unifying CBN and Operation Blessing (OB) staff through technology, communication, and prayer. In her spare time, she enjoys family time, reading, long-distance running, weightlifting, fishing, traveling, and writing hand-written notes to her pen pals across the world.Minister Dayna Lovelady

The sky is the limit to what you can do, The sky is the limit to invent you. Don't look back to the left nor the right Just look ahead to the guiding light Stay straight on your path, God prepared it especially for you. The sky is the limit to what you can do. It may feel a little scary, but God's got your back. You accomplished a milestone. You are on the right track. The sky is the limit, do not hold back. The sky is the limit, do not be slack. Put God first, work hard to become the best version of you. The sky is the limit to what you can do.To The Graduate
