Early Life
Jennifer D. Long born and raised in Jacksonville, FL where she attended a local holiness church founded by her grandmother Dean Welch Hall. She spent her teenage years being taught and groomed for ministry by her grandmother Dean Welch Hall and her father Bishop Jimmie L. Long, Sr., who is a Veteran Marine. She was youngest daughter of her parents and the middle child of her siblings Jimmie L. Long, Jr. and Felicia James. Raised under strong Pentecostal and holiness roots, she continued to fellowship at her local family church Greater El-Beth-El Holiness Church, under the leadership of her mother's brother, Bishop Lorenzo Hall Sr., until 2003. Long was no stranger to music or ministry, her bloodline consists of pastors, prophets, evangelists, and singers.

At age 5, her parents noticed she would sing day and night around the home. By age 7, they also realized her athletic abilities taken after both her parents. From elementary to college, Long ran track and field sprints and sung in talent shows, while also performing for media outlets. At age 15, Long performed the "Star Spangled Banner", that was aired by the news media and it drew a few offers for R & B record deals, but due to her parents strict religious beliefs they were declined. By age 17, Long was diagnosed with cervical cancer, which caused her to spend her senior year home schooled due to illness. After going into remission, she bounced back and was determined to make music her goal.

Personal life
By age 18, she married Johnny A. Kirby with whom she had her first son Johnny J. Kirby. By age 21, Long was divorced and began to feel the call of ministry. In 1999, she met her last three sons father, James N. Burroughs, who was a musician. In March 2001, she gave birth two her twin sons Jericho J. Burroughs and Joel J. Burroughs. Then January 2002, she gave birth to her youngest son, Jaleel J. Burroughs.

Music & Ministry Career
Long is a prophetess, traveling evangelist, author, and gospel recording artist. In 1998, she began traveling while singing gospel quartet with "The Anointed Sisters of Praise" of Jacksonville, FL. By 1999, she began traveling and lead singing with an all male quartet group known as "The Supreme Stars" when the group broke up due to the death of one of their lead singers. In late 1999, she recorded her first album "Tied Up & Tangled Up" and signed with Sharp Records of Douglasville, GA. In late 2001, she held her first conference called, "No More Manipulation" focusing on those who were being wounded by the deception of leaders in the church. While under the leadership of her father (Bishop Jimmie L. Long, Sr.), by late 2002, she felt God redirecting her steps to something greater and was called to the Evangelistic realm. The ministry started with five members and by 2004, the ministry has grown and Long began traveling and preaching worldwide.

In 2005, she founded Conquering Gospel Music Publishing (BMI), and independently recorded her second album titled, "On the Road 2 Recover" as a precursor for her personal biography. "On the Road 2 Recover", was birth out of the abuse suffered from personal relationships and recovery from physical illnesses of herself and children in January 2011. In May 2011, she founded and incorporated "Virtuous Woman Inc. as the CEO out of a passion for single mothers. By 2012, Long's ministry began to expand internationally. As God continued to allow her ministry to expand she was prompted to continue working in the community working with prisoners, tutoring youth in the community, and expounding on the Word of God and spreading a message of healing, deliverance, and restoration to audiences nationwide. In January 2014, she was officially installed as the new Pastor of Conquering Gospel Church International. By 2014, she became the first female pastor to air on the Hearken HSTVN and in 2015, joining the Christ Family Network Radio/TV Broadcast.
