Burnett was born in Gibsonville, North Carolina and grew up in Greensboro, North Carolina where she also received her education. Betty's very early years of life were without her biological father, but she had a hard working mother who later remarried. Childhood and early teen life were not smooth sailing for Betty, which led her to having a strong desire to leave home when she became of age. Upon
leaving home, Betty's travels took her to the Bronx, NY; Jersey City, NJ; Camden, NJ and Philadelphia, PA. Her experiences living in various cities were exciting, but all the bright lights, fast life and other pursuits never satisfied or filled the empty void. Eventually, Greensboro became her home again. It was several years after moving back to Greensboro that she had a born again experience and her triumphs began Monday, March 15, 1982. Betty attributes God's grace and mercy for allowing her the privilege to survive and testify of His goodness to others. She could also testify that all those empty years prior to her relationship with Jesus Christ have been filled and her thirty plus years of walking with the Lord have been victorious. Betty joined several churches and often lived in situations outside of her comfort zone, but through it all, God sustained her. Betty became a member of a church in Camden; she lived in Camden two times; prior to her salvation and after she was saved. In the year of 2000, Betty received her license to minster at St. Paul Baptist Church and she became an ordained Evangelist in 2002 (she was already ordained by God). Betty is a poet, author and playwright. She loves studying the word of God and sharing it with whomever she comes in contact with. This lines up with her proclaiming (telling) what has been revealed to her by the Holy Spirit (Matthew 10:27). Betty has a love for people and her passionate desire is to see them delivered from whatever they have been in bo***ge to, which is in conjunction with her ministry theme: "Setting the Captives Free" (Isaiah 61:1). Betty is confident of her dual-fold ministry call and she wants others to know and walk in their call (purpose). Betty also encourages others to seek God pertaining to their call . She believes in building people up and is quick to tell them that with God, there are no big I's or little you's; that one person is just as important as the other, no matter what the call may be. Betty also enjoys traveling; she really loves to drive and every time a door is opened for her to hit the highways, she gets delightfully happy; for Betty knows that wherever she goes, doors of opportunity are always opened for ministry. This is all God instilled and it certainly confirms her logo: "Send Me Lord, I'll Go" (Isaiah 6:8).
