In the winter of 1974, after spending twelve years of her life addicted to drugs, enduring several commitments to psychiatric hospitals, engaging in a variety of criminal activities (with several arrests leading to incarceration), and participating in every type of rehabilitation effort that was presented to her, Jacqueline Strothoff had a personal life changing encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ.
She accepted Him as her personal Savior while confined in a psychiatric hospital. Upon her release, she entered New Life For Girls, a one year Christian residential discipleship program in Dover, Pennsylvania. Graduation from the program was followed by ministerial training and Bible study at Rev. David Wilkerson’s Twin Oaks Leadership Academy in Lindale, Texas where she met her husband Bob. They spent the next several years working in Teen Challenge centers across the country and then settling in Springfield, Missouri to attend college.
