When My Life Turned Upside Down
A middle of the night phone call shocked me to my core. Our only child, a U.S. Naval Academy graduate with an impeccable record, had been arrested for the murder of his wife’s first husband. That call was the start of an unimaginable journey—emotionally, financially, and spiritually. After two and a half years of delays, our son was convicted and sentenced to life without parole.
I’ve come to understand that even in our darkest moments, God can work through our pain, bringing healing and purpose when we surrender fully to Him.
While our hearts still ache for the victim, their family, and all affected, I’ve seen how God’s forgiveness has transformed our son, who now ministers within the walls of a maximum-security prison.
This life-altering experience led my husband, Gene and I, to start Speak Up for Hope, a nonprofit dedicated to bringing encouragement and practical help to those impacted by incarceration.
Get Involved with Speak Up for Hope
Speak Up for Hope exists for two purposes: to support the needs of inmates and their families and to train people in evangelism and Bible teaching for global impact.
Prison Ministry
My husband Gene and our son Jason brainstorm together about what the great needs are at the prison. Speak Up for Hope is able to supply chapel equipment, Bible study books, fans in the non-air conditioned inmate dorms, Bibles and books for inmates, Bible study books, Financial Peace course books, and quarterly inmate special packages. We provide games in the prison visitation areas, Boxes of Hope for wives and moms of inmates–and so much more.
Equipping for global evangelism and teaching
Through Speak Up Ministries we train people who are called by God to share their testimonies, write for publication, teach the Bible, and do evangelism. We’ve been privileged to provide training for many military spouses who are taking biblical truth all over the globe.
