Describing Denise Jones' childhood as rough is an understatement. From surviving child sexual abuse, poverty, addiction, and incarceration, among other challenges, her life seemed destined for destruction. However, one day, her life was transformed by God. Since 1986, she has dedicated her life to helping others in similar circumstances. She founded "Tender Touch NFP" in 2004, offering job training and opportunities to formerly incarcerated women. She shares her testimony with us on this episode of Faith on the Journey.
