Zephaniah Ministries was created for the sole purpose of being inclusive. A ministry for those of us who took "the 40 year plan" (wandering in the wilderness for 40 years instead of following God from the start), many of us come from dysfunctional families, many of us are products of broken homes and have created the same for our own children.  Many of us have been abused; many of us have been abandoned, many of us have been hungry or suffered in some way by the hand of someone else or even by our own hand. While I have made many bad decisions and did not always do the "right thing" God has always had his hand on me.  He has called me to minister to the hurting, the people, like me who have made poor choices, to the ones who are lost and don't feel loved, to the ones who just can't seem to get it together, who may have many failed marriages or relationships.  I hate it, but I have practical experience.  I have been there and God is going to use my time in the wilderness to love and help others to find Him.
