Synetra Leaphart was born Synetra Evette Howard on July 14, 1965. She is an Atlanta native, reared with birth parents, the late Bishop John D. Howard and Missionary Johnnie Lee Howard, along with 12 other biological siblings. She co-labored with her husband to found New Hope Christian Ministries in July 2001. The Lord has inspired her to develop several ministries within New Hope Cathedral, such as: My Sister My Keeper Women's Ministry, Daughters of Divine Destiny Young Ladies Mentoring Ministry, New Members Services, Café New Hope, NH Grief Ministry, and the community Good News Club. As a result of her love for God's children, she was inspired to write Scent of Heaven, a motivational book which gives the reader daily spiritual vitamins to encourage the soul. She dedicates the book to the late matriarchs of her life, mother Johnnie Lee Howard, Mother in love, Lois Leaphart, grandmother Ma Pat (Elsie Jackson) and sister, Phyllis Ann Johnson as well as her father, the late Bishop John D. Howard, who instilled in her spiritual foundations, values and commitment. They all played a major role in aiding her to become the woman she is today. They are the wind beneath her wings... Synetra retired with 28 years of service in October 2010 from Ga Department of Human Resources. She walks fervently beside her husband, assisting him in all his endeavors. She is a constant source of great strength, love and empowerment to others. Her Godly and positive influence has brought many to Christ. She exemplifies the gift of wisdom and knowledge in both the body of Christ as well as the community. Her complete dedication and unselfish service reflect the blessed hope of Jesus Christ for the church (His bride). She has been the proud wife of Pastor-Dr. Richard Leaphart, since October 8, 1988 and mother of Senora age 25 - a graduate of Fort Valley State University and is now completing her Master's Degree, Rachel age 21 - a junior at Clark Atlanta University, maternal aunt of her niece Menyada age 32 and Maurita Johnson age 31.
