Janelle Johns was born October 17 in Louisiana, and at a young age displayed a beautiful talent to sing and express herself musically. She was energetic, loving, and kind and has always been someone people love being around.  The fact that her family moved around as her father served in the military, makes her what some would call an army brat. 

Janelle is the wife of Robert Johns, the love of her life, and they have six children. Janelle has been a member of Liberty Prayer Chapel for 13 years, and a licensed minister who leads a thriving youth ministry. Janelle has always had a strong love for God and children, so having a youth ministry came naturally. Although the road to success has been very trying, Janelle has always been strong, determined and ambitious.  She desires to allow God to use her gift to bless the world.
