A Christian Testimony: From Homeless Addict to God's Servant

Cheri Peters shares an unfiltered testimony of ten years of homelessness, heroin addiction, and hepatitis — and the moment she encountered a God who saw past all of it. She talks candidly about learning to read, entering nursing school, and being asked by her pastor to help a mother caught in meth addiction, which became the first step in a ministry to people everyone else had given up on.

The heart of her message is simple: God doesn't just forgive broken people, He uses them. From anointing her dying sister for healing to running a prison and horse ministry today, Cheri's story is a case study in what it looks like when someone truly believes that no one — not an addict, not a stripper, not a homeless heroin user — is beyond the reach of grace.
