Each woman comes with their own story of addiction, redemption, to point to one greater kingdom story.

  • FOUNDER

    Turning Point Ministry was born out of my own journey of redemption. After spending 20 years in addiction, God completely delivered me through a 21-day program in 2011. In 2018, while serving in jail ministry, I met a woman who was being released the next day with nowhere to go. In that moment, God broke my heart and placed a calling on my life to create a place of hope and healing for women in recovery. That was the beginning of Turning Point Ministry—a place where lives are restored and new beginnings are possible through the power of Christ.

    Meet Amy’s sister, partner, and friend, Candi Collier. Amy and Candi’s stories are beautifully intertwined. Amy prayed for her sister for eight and a half years, and God answered powerfully and rescued her from addiction. In 2020, Candi entered The Lovelady Center, where she began her own journey of healing, restoration, and faith. Today, they serve side by side, using their testimonies to bring hope and freedom to other women who are walking the same road they once did.
