About My Family
I am a professor at Liberty University. My husband, Kyle, is a pastor. We have been married for 30 years and are in our 12th year of service at Chevis Oaks Baptist Church in Savannah, Georgia. We have three adult children, a son-in-law, a daughter-in-law, and seven grandchildren. Since 2002, we have served in South Carolina, Kentucky, and Georgia. We delight in sharing the love and freedom found in Christ. I completed a PhD in organizational leadership at Columbia International. I wrote my dissertation about vulnerable women and trauma.
Kyle and I serve as First Families for refugees placed in Savannah. I am the president of Savannah Working Against Human Trafficking, a court-appointed special advocate, serve on the board of The Living Vine Christian Maternity Home, and am the vice president of Kairos Georgia Women’s Prison Ministry.

About My Ministry
The Sunshine Girls is a ministry in Savannah whose mission is to share the love of Christ with those in the adult entertainment industry in hopes of empowering vulnerable and marginalized women and survivors of trafficking to live healthy, flourishing lives. Seventy percent of female victims who are trafficked are trafficked into the commercial sex industry, including the legal forms of it, such as porn, stripping, and legal brothels.
Whether they were trafficked or entered by “choice,” research shows that women working in the commercial sex industry experience higher rates of homelessness, exploitation, drug addiction, sexually transmitted diseases, violent assaults, and mental health challenges than the general population.
Eight-nine percent of women in the sex industry say they want to escape but see no other means for survival.
