Speaker-Mimi Neighbors
Topic: When Making Disciples--Bloom Where You're Planted"
Mimi is fond of saying she limped to the cross, weighed down with bags full of life's mess, and became God's mess redeemed for His good pleasure! After sexual abuse at an early age, Mimi tried to fix her own problems, ending up lost in a sea of drugs, alcohol, sexual perversion and mental illness, landing her in jail five times. She cried out, "Lord Jesus, I need help!" His answer was redemption and healing and a new life and purpose.
Mimi moved to Chattanooga in 2004 as a missionary in prison ministry. She is now founder and president of Love Your Neighbor Ministries, Inc., as well as a writer, mentor, and speaker. She also chairs the mentoring and family committee of the Tennessee
Reentry Collaborative in Hamilton County. It is the mission of Love Your Neighbor to encourage and assist women imprisoned by life choices of rebellious sin to be reconciled to God through Christ, growing into God's Word by His Spirit into living epistles for his glory. Mimi and Love Your Neighbor Ministries flesh out the gospel through Weekly Bible studies, aftercare groups, and taking the gospel to women in Chattanooga's crack neighborhoods. Mimi will encourage us to take the gospel into our worlds. |
