From Prison to Purpose
Racheal’s Story of Redemption
I am first and foremost a daughter of the King, a living testimony of God’s grace and redemption. I’m a wife to my amazing husband, Tyler, who was truly a God-send. Though our childhoods and lives could not have been more different, we both found ourselves in the same place: addiction and brokenness.
It was there, at the end of ourselves, that we surrendered and the Lord began His transforming work.
I’m the mother of two sons, Brayden and Connor, and a Mimi to Braxxton, as well as a cat mom to King Reni, the coolest cat ever.
I was born in upstate South Carolina, and while my heart belongs to the mountains and rivers, the ocean never fails to take my breath away.
My story began in a home marked by dysfunction, rejection, and abandonment. My parents were broken teens from broken homes, raising two children before they were of legal age the best they could.
Rebellion and pain became my companions, and by thirteen I was already experimenting with drugs.
What started with a stolen joint from my father’s stash led to an eight-year battle with meth addiction, a journey that ultimately landed me behind bars serving a five-year prison sentence.
But that prison cell became holy ground.
One woman shared her testimony, a story that mirrored my own, and her love for Jesus stirred something in me. I thought, if He could help her, maybe He could help me too.
I picked up a Bible and began to read, and in those pages I met Jesus. I felt peace for the first time in my life. He set me free, not from the cell, but from the chains inside my heart.
Today, I stand in awe of the Lord God Almighty. I don’t claim to have it all together, but I know with every fiber of my being that I am called to be a soul winner for His Kingdom.
My heart beats for the broken, the rejected, and the abused, for the women who believe they’ve gone too far to be redeemed.
Through our ministry, I share the good news that there is freedom in Christ from every stronghold the enemy tries to use to keep us bound.
It is our deepest desire to see every person encounter an intimate relationship with our Creator. There is nothing more satisfying, nothing more healing, and nothing more powerful than the love of Jesus Christ.
