My Story
Her Hope Recovery Ministry
Julie leads a weekly Christ-Centered 12-step recovery Zoom, and she coordinates in-person monthly gatherings to create connection and community. Her Hope Recovery women also have the opportunity to attend the spirit-filled, life-transforming women’s conferences sponsored by PF Women – Stronger, and Thrive!
Prison Ministry
Julie and her husband Mike have been ministering the gospel of Jesus Christ in prisons for 17 years and counting. Mike is a full-time Senior Chaplain with the Florida Department of Corrections and brings Julie in to share her story for God’s glory. Mike and Julie hold regular chapel services where broken men find the hope to believe that Jesus died to forgive them and transform their lives right there on the inside of the razor-wire fences. Gang members, Wikkans, Odinists, atheists, backsliders, and more are responding to altar calls and getting baptized.
Julie also ministers in the Florida Women’s Reception Center in Ocala where she is planning her first all-day retreat for women incarcerated in the Short Sentence Institution. This life-transforming event will take place October 28, 2023, and include testimonies, special speakers, and workshops.
As of June 1, 2023, Mike and Julie have conducted 408 prison ministry services, ministering to over 20,478 inmates.
