Meet Lorraine

Lorraine Whoberry is a woman powerfully changed by God's grace and the precious blood of Jesus Christ.

Born in Fort Worth, Texas, Lorraine was raised with love and care, however church was not a priority. Having many questions about the Bible and church, her parents bought her a Bible and Christian books. However, her grandma, Grannie Seals, encouraged her to search what Christianity was about.

As the years passed, Lorraine was searching for contentment. She eventually married and in 1982, her first daughter, Stacie was born and two years later her second daughter, Kristie was brought into the world. As time passed Lorraine lived her routine day-to-day life still searching for contentment.

After the deaths of Grannie Seals and her father, her marriage ended. She came to the sober realization that she needed Jesus Christ. Lorraine surrendered her heart and life to Jesus.

In 1999, life took a deadly turn for Lorraine and her family. Her daughters were brutally attacked in their home. Stacie was murdered, and Kristie, after having been attacked was left for dead. Kristie survived. Lorraine began searching for answers in every support group she could find, but remained empty and unfulfilled. The Lord touched her heart and with His guidance, she became a voice for Him.

In 2001, Lorraine began the S.T.A.C.I.E Foundation, In honor of Stacie and Kristie. The foundation offers "Impact of Victimization" Seminars to an audience of law enforcement, judges, prosecutors, attorneys, detectives political science students, and inmates, educating them on the "Impact of Victimization" and how victims and law enforcement can work together.

In 2008, the ministry, "Heal My Wounds, Leave My Scars" was launched. Through various venues, Lorraine brings the message of Hope to those who struggle with loss, and grief, and forgiveness. She has a heart for victims, survivors and those who have just lost their way.

Lorraine states her mission as, "To serve my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. To be His hands, and feet. Reaching people for Him through opportunities He brings. I would not want to miss a thing."

"We know that we are from God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one. And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life." 1 John 5:19-20 (ESV)
