Betty Hanks is a survivor of years of horrible abuse in her family home. Nearly 11 years ago, God began to work in Betty's heart, to show her her value in His eyes and to walk her through the painful process of healing those wounds. It has been a long, painful journey, but nearly 8 years ago, Betty felt a call to minister to others who suffered they way she had. Since then, she has mentored and shepherded women who are looking for healing. God has been faithful to walk with Betty throughout all the years of her life, and she is blessed and privileged to lead women to experience the healing power of God as she has. Betty is married to her high school sweetheart, Steven, and they have an 21-year-old daughter and a 17-year-old son, and a 1-year-old grandson.
