SHERILYN has had a relationship with the Lord since 1991. JOEL has been saved since 1996. Together they have been through the fire and understand what it is like when your "perfect" world comes crashing down leaving nothing but devastation. Having gone through near divorce, Joel & Sherilyn know that through determination and the Grace & Love of the Father, He is able to turn even the most hopeless situation around. Both Joel & Sherilyn have a powerful testimony, not only through the near destruction of their marriage, but also through their own experiences because of it and how the Lord carried them through the fire. They have also experienced His tremendous power in several other areas of their life, both together and apart.  Their Heart is to see that people who have been beaten down by the world in everyday challenges, including those hurt by a church - can find their way back to the Lord, the very source of their healing. They want to encourage you that disappointment and  self condemnation are not the end of the line. But, through Christ you have the ability to rebuild your life despite those oppositions.

Sherilyn has a giving heart and a tremendous zeal for life. But, she understands how powerful words that are spoken to you and over you can destroy your person, your heart and your spirit. The effects can be devastating. SHERILYN has ministered under A Touch From Heaven Ministries, a California non-profit corporation for the last few years.  She has spoken at many events and has conducted Ladies Facial of the Heart Retreats throughout California and into other states as well. Her Facial of the Heart Retreats are based upon one of the chapters in her book "Radiant Beauty". She has also written a spirit-filled devotional (it is for men and women) entitled "Prayers From The Heart". Both of which are available through this website and at this ministries outreaches and retreats.

Joel has more of a quiet spirit but when he ministers to men, they listen. He understands the battles men face and he knows that no matter how hard you try, they remain a constant battle. However, he has also learned how to trust in the grace of the Father and turn to Him, instead of anger or abuse in times of trouble. His testimony is one of power and humility and when he shares it, it touches the most harden heart. If you want to contact Sherilyn or Joel, arrange for them to speak at your event, shelter or church please click here to send Sherilyn an e-mail.

KIM R. BLAKELY -  I have known about the Lord since I was a child, but I never served Him.  I had been hurt time and time again by the world, and even by people who claimed they belonged to Him.  I had no self-esteem, no self worth and trusted no one.  I endured years of verbal and physical abuse, and have survived sexual abuse.  I did not feel worthy to be loved by anybody, and especially not by a Holy God.  I was convinced that I was unlovable. No matter how great my sin or how deeply I was walking in the darkness, every time I called out to the Lord, He was faithful to deliver me from my circumstances.  In January of 2000 I was in a horrible bike accident.  The second I called His name, He was there.  I felt His protection wrap around me like a warm blanket and in that instant, my terror was replaced with a perfect peace that I had never experienced before.   I walked away from that accident with a new understanding of God’s love.  I realized that none of us is “worthy” of His love, yet He freely gives it to all who ask for it.  It cannot be earned, and we could never show Him or prove to Him that we deserve it (because we don’t).  It is because He loves us so much that He gave His son to die for us that we may receive His forgiveness and Grace.  His word says nothing can separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord, nothing.  So no matter what your circumstance, or how dirty or unlovable you may feel, cry out to Jesus and let Him wash you as white as snow.  Let Him reveal to you His love,that will never leave you or forsake you, but stick closer than a brother.  It’s the one thing in life we can trust.

       I have a heart for abused women, all bikers, and to all God’s children who have no hope.  My heart is to reach out to all who feel unlovable and share with them the perfect love and hope that is in God through Jesus Christ our Lord. You can e-mail Kim here.

 LISA-MARIE HUSKINSON took the long way around to know the Lord. Through tragic circumstance which could have taken her life and through a system that is not geared towards restoring people but locking them up and throwing away the key, Lisa-Marie found the Lord. She grabbed a hold of Him that day and has hung all through the challenges that followed. Her heart is to share the Love and Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and our Heavenly Father with women coming out of the prisons wanting to start a new life, one that includes Jesus, and to reach those people wanting to be free of drug addiction. It is all possible through the Lord, as Lisa-Marie can share with you. If you want to e-mail her you can reach Lisa-Marie here.
