I’ve served with Adult & Teen Challenge for 14 years, taking on nearly every role from teacher and fundraiser to program director and executive director. My calling to this ministry began during a church presentation on Teen Challenge, where I felt a clear conviction that Oklahoma needed a women’s center. I trained in Dallas and Houston, and during a pause in progress due to the state director’s illness, I launched a re-entry home for women coming out of prison. Outside of ATC, I’ve worked as a chaplain with the Assemblies of God and founded Living in Freedom Today, a 501(c)(3) recovery program now known as Freedom Challenge Mabel Bassett, serving women inside Oklahoma’s largest prison. I’m a determined person, more comfortable behind the scenes than in social settings, but passionate about ministry and seeing lives transformed.
