In Bakersfield, CA I was put on assignment by an elderly mother to bring her daughter out of 35 years of prostitution. This occurred in about 2019. I was attending the Higher Ground Pentecostal church and the assistant wife of a young Pastor started a Mentoring program.
I was one of three mentors brought up on stage. The mother came toward me and whispered in my ear. Can you bring my daughter out of prostitution? My answer was “YES”. I told the mother that Doug Bennett, founder of Magalene Hope was having a women’s conference that weekend. I invited her daughter and the mother with me to that 3 day conference. We all drove together. The mother warned me that Amber may not stay during the 3 day conference. I said that is okay. Well, she stayed until Saturday morning and then left. I followed up the following Monday to meet her in her rental apartment living behind her parent’s home. As a former social worker I was used in making home visits in every kind of situation. I presented myself as a business coach. She and her boyfriend of many years were together.
She stated that she had a escort business of 35 years and was used to making big money. As a Spiritual and transformational coach, I knew my biggest challenge was for Amber to transform her income to a honest lifestyle and not use prostitution money as her lifestyle. She did not have a high school diploma.
At this time Amber was coming into the back of her church with a wig on. She had 33 wigs that she used to hide her identity. Amber had been raised by a Christian mother who had remarried a man who did not like Amber. Amber’s aunt was also a harlot known in the community. Amber talked with me undercover, I was using a speaker phone to coach her throughout the Bakersfield area. She and her stepfather did not like each other.. He favored his own sons over Amber. Amber’s own biological father had died early in her life.
Eventually Amber came to live with me at my residence in her camper. She had paid $8,000 to buy her home on wheels. All this money Amber used was her prostitution money. She was living in poverty because she had no formal education and all her friends were drug addicts, some of which were high income men. Many of the men had wealthy families in which they lived. Amber was drawing men who were of all incomes. As this situation improved, Amber came to live outside my home for my affirmation training. She would come into my home in the morning, and I would provide coffee and I would begin to structure her life. She began to get up in the morning and I began to introduce her to many nationals spiritual coaches such as Joyce Myers, Jenezen Franklin, TBN network, Joel Osteen, and many others.
She was learning to get up, read her bible and begin to get discipline back in her life. I helped her medically to use her medicines from her doctors and get off PCP. I met many of her heroin users and she got away from all her former drug addicts.
This coaching that I provided took almost two years. I, as a coach risked my life on a road trip where Amber rolled over her car on a road trip.
I became her spiritual mother to get through all of our trials. She got clean and went back to live with her biological mother. Today she got back her children from foster care and now has fully met one of her former husbands that was Christian.
She is totally clean in her life and is fully Christian in all her ways. Her christian husband has a ministry and Amber is apart of that ministry. Amber and I will be Christian sisters for life. I can not describe the joy I feel as her Spiritual mother.
