MICHELLE DURAND, FOUNDER/DIRECTOR, TEARS TO TREASURES MINISTRY Michelle went through the trauma of abortion as a teenager. She had her abortion at Delta Women's Clinic in Baton Rouge. Not only was her unborn baby's life taken that day, her life was devastated for many years to follow. She turned to drugs and alcohol to numb the pain and help her cope with the feelings of guilt, shame and condemnation. She felt unworthy to go to church any longer and ran from God. At the age of 21, she accepted Jesus Christ as her Savior and knew that He forgave her from her sins including ABORTION. However, she had to go through the healing process. Afterwards, she knew that God wanted her to "go and tell everyone what she went through and what Jesus did for her because He desires to do the same for them". Hence, Tears to Treasures ministry was birthed in 2001. It is the vision of the Tears to Treasures ministry to be able to provide help, hope and healing through God's love and prayer to women and men considering an abortion and those who have had an abortion. We are committed to providing information and speaking to the public in churches, schools, youth groups and at events. We also strive to instruct interested parties in furthering the ministry of abortion recovery. ***Teen Talk is part of the Choose NOW Radio network, a division of Choose NOW Ministries.
