“I’VE VIEWED WHAT ALL THINGS POSSIBLE MINISTRIES

Outreaches

Over time, “Corina” began sharing her experiences from childhood, along with the difficult life she was currently living. While this relationship was growing, we were having Samantha Weekends at All Things Possible Ministries. God clearly laid on my heart that I should invite “Corina” to one of our weekends.

On the first invitation, she accepted but did not end up attending. I soon learned that “Corina” had a debilitatingly intense fear of flying. Nevertheless, I made sure to keep the invitation open to her, so that, when she was ready to face her fears, we would welcome her with open arms.

In 2020, while serving in an outreach at a strip club, providing assistance, resources and services to the female sex industry workers, I was introduced to “Corina.”

Right off the bat, “Corina” was cordial but standoffish. I am always understanding and patient with the girls in the sex industry when they have this disposition, as I know it stems from trauma and constantly being burned in the industry.

During my ongoing visits to the club, I continued talking with “Corina,” sharing different aspects of my own story along with the many vulnerable situations I found myself in while working in the sex industry.

I then told her what my life is like now. When she asked me how I would explain the transformation, I was compelled to answer that it was by the grace of God that my life had changed for the better.

Finally, the time came when Corina was ready to trust us and attend the Samantha Weekend by facing her fear of flying and boarding that plane for Colorado. But it turned out that flying was not her only apprehension.

She also expressed to us that she had an intense fear of guns and shooting. Remarkably, she faced her second fear and conquered it as well. During the Samantha Weekend, we were all so proud to see “Corina” not only overcome her fear of shooting but also get excited about doing more shooting!

I have always said that this ministry is longsuffering, and we must develop trust and solid relationships with those we serve. Now “Corina” looks forward to practicing shooting and has even expressed a desire to possibly work with us one day! I am beyond blessed to be able to serve her in any capacity, and I am genuinely excited for what God has in store for her.

By the grace of God, 2022 has been a year of remarkable healing and restoration. We can’t wait to see what 2023 brings.
