Born into poverty to a drug-addicted mother, Rebecca Contreras had been a “lost girl” for almost two decades when, at age 19, she found herself to be a drop out, welfare dependent teenage mother. As a high school dropout with substance-abuse and emotional trauma tendencies, she was well on her way to perpetuating the generational cycle of destruction and becoming a statistic lost to the system and her upbringing. But a sudden, transformative embrace by God, filling the trenches dug by rejection in her past, changed everything and put her on a journey to her unbelievable “God Story” and transformation!

Michael Phillips was pushed to the margins of the school system.  As a kid, a teacher essentially told him he’d never amount to anything. That was followed by a series of losses—his father’s death, getting in a life-altering car accident, and losing his college scholarship—which led him to abandon his hopes of a better life and turn to dealing drugs. But when he was arrested, a judge gave him a second chance at college rather than 30 years in prison if convicted, and that changed his whole life trajectory. Enough so that his son even attended and graduated from Harvard!  Michael would love to share what we can do individually to create change and give every child an opportunity to dream and succeed.
