  Mentoring Recovery Unique Ministries

  HOPE FOR HER

  I was a single parent mom who had left a domestic violence marriage. After struggling for over 25 years with alcoholism, I lost my job. My life hit rock bottom. In that moment, when everything had fallen apart, I was face down on the floor thinking I would die. My life had blown up. It was then that I surrendered my life to Christ and confessed to the Lord that I had made a terrible mess of my life. I asked Him to do something of value, His will, with my life. Finally, I was able to get sober and connect with my… Read More

  Loving Your Neighbor Unique Ministries

  SOOTHING HOSPICE PATIENTS

  My experience with Lifecare Hospice began in 2006 when my dear friend Ronda and I decided to train as volunteers. We were assigned to hospice patients in various nursing facilities in our county where we played our guitars and sang duets for each client, making every effort to find music to which each individual would joyfully respond. Ironically, our very first assignment was a former neighbor of mine. It was such a pleasure and blessing to be able to minister to my dear friend in her final days; and it was a definite confirmation to me that this was indeed something… Read More

  Labor Unique Ministries Verbalizing the Gospel

  MY UNPLANNED GIFT FROM GOD

  God put it on my heart early to teach children the Gospel and lead others to Christ. I've had over 45 years of evangelical training. Throughout those years, God has shifted my talents, giving me various ways to fulfill my purpose. Some of those gifts have faded, while others have remained and grown. I never would have thought a doll would bring such purpose. One Christmas, my children received a ventriloquist dummy. They were thrilled! Everyone took turns trying to make them speak without moving their mouths. I chose to try my daughter's dummy, Simon. It was as though God had… Read More

  Loss Of Loved One Unique Ministries

  PLANTING SEEDS OF HOPE

  Andy had been my friend for almost my entire life. He dated my sister for years and was like a brother to me. He’s the one who got me into cars. I learned how to drive in his Chevy Blazer when I was just twelve. I went on dates with my future wife in that car. It was more than just a vehicle—it was a part of our story. After Andy died by suicide, I found myself needing something to hold on to. Something tangible. So, I bought a Blazer just like his. It was my way of staying connected to… Read More

  Labor Overcoming Obstacles Unique Ministries

  THE BREAKTHROUGH

  As a teenager, I was suicidal, drowning in PTSD from relentless bullying. Then, one day, a Hawk Nelson song found me exactly where I was. It gave me something to hold onto. The Lord used a song to literally save my life, and now I get to create music to do the same for others. When Jason Dunn, Hawk Nelson’s lead singer, agreed to sing on my song, “This One’s For You,” it was such a full-circle moment. That song, like many others I’ve written, is for anyone who's been in that dark place. My heart is to be a voice for… Read More

  Children Food Unique Ministries

  SUE’S KIDS

  For 25 years, my mom was a school cook in an elementary school, where all the children called her by her first name, “Sue.” She loved them, and they loved her in return for her hugs, friendly teasing and good food. Her school kitchen was known for the special treats she whipped up, especially her famous homemade peanut butter bars that are still talked about today. She would see to it that all the students received plenty of food on their plates, with extras and seconds given to the ones who looked hungrier. Years later, when she was drawing close to death… Read More
