An unexpected tragedy can break our spirit or awaken us to God's presence and power.
That's precisely what happened to Debra Stout after a Christmas morning house fire stripped her of everything she has held dear, including her career as a teacher. Rather than focusing on what she had lost, Debra held on to the fact that God miraculously spared her life. She became a believer in miracles and made it her mission to awaken others to the power of God's presence and work.
An author and speaker, Debra recently embraced the call to the Great Commission and has made several trips to Mexico with World Missions Alliance to share her story and her love for Christ. 
With a passport and funds initially out of reach, and only one month to prepare for her first mission, she trusted in divine provision. Through her experiences in Mexico she has discovered deep fulfillment and connected to her greater purpose in life.

Have you ever felt like your past was too broken to redeem? 
Tetyana Zabroda's story is proof that God can turn even the darkest beginnings into something beautiful. Born in Kiev, Ukraine, Tetyana from the very young age became aware that she was a product of rape and her biologocal father was a terrible man. Her mother chose not to have an abortion and tried to give her a good life while carrying the burden of the traumatic past. Tetyana's grandmother was the only one who welcomed her birth.

But her story doesn’t end with struggle—it’s about transformation. During the stillness of the 2020 lockdowns, Tatiana experienced a spiritual awakening that completely changed the course of her life - she accepted Jesus as her Lord and Savior. A mission trip to Greece became a defining moment where she saw God’s plans unfold in ways she never imagined. Watching the redemption of Galina, a Ukrainian refugee, whose story mirrored her own, ignited a boldness in Tetyana to share her faith and bring hope to others.

This episode isn’t just about one woman’s journey—it’s about all of us who have wondered if our past defines our future. If you’ve ever doubted God’s ability to heal and redeem, Tetyana’s story will remind you that nothing is beyond His reach.

Shirleen Smith  faced the challenge of being addicted to a relationship that was not healthy. It almost cost her family, career and her relationship with God.
