She works with Loma Linda Broadcasting Network completely on a volunteer basis. Ms. DeLange has been influenced by mentors throughout her career. She said, 'I have been very positively influenced by the leaders of our Seventh-Day Adventist Denomination and our television network but most specifically Ganim Hanna, President and CEO of LLBN TV, is a tremendously positive influence as well as the Senior Pastor, Dr. Randy Roberts, of Loma Linda University Church. They each demonstrate a relentless passion for outreach and ministry.' Her most outstanding accomplishment has been creating, developing, hosting and singing for 'The Gathering Place Strummers and Singers' television program featuring nine instrumentalists and six vocalists. The program allows viewers to sing and play along to familiar gospel melodies and features over 400 religious songs with 56 programs produced to date.
