Show Summary

From Sewing to Sowing

Tina is a Master Seamstress and an amazing woman but she landed in an abusive relationship that proved fatal one night when she was trying to defend herself. Tina didn’t dream she’d go to prison because it was self defense but received a 20 year sentence. She did four years at the Hobby unit and while there, God changed her life and began developing her into the woman that she is today.

Tina returned home December 12, 2013. Once she returned home, she immediately began taking care of her obligations to the County of Dallas with overdue tickets and classes required of me with parole. After completing it all, she started her training to become a volunteer for the ministry she had completed while serving time within the faith dorm, Discipleship Unlimited. Once finishing that and being home for 18 months,she was able to start going in and sharing her testimony of hope. A

fter doing this for about 2 to 3 years, she was asked to come and share at the parole office by a local pastor and he mentored her with facilitating classes at the local parole office. She eventually met Chaplain Larry Garden who took her under his wings and had her trained to be a leader for the Overcomers program and appointed her solely to do classes at the current office she has been with since 2017 hosting 3 classes weekly.

Tina is currently in school working on her BA & MA in ministry, with the goal to receive her doctorate in philosophy at Wheaton College Billy Graham Center.

She will also be completing Minister In Training under the leadership of Chris Wesley, her senior pastor at Antioch Fellowship Missionary Baptist Church (where her and her family are active members) at the end of September and will be ordained as a minister.

Tina is semi-retired as a master seamstress and sewing educator and now works with an amazing organization, Above The Clouds.
