About Nancy Jackson

A single mother of two, Nancy Jackson developed an addiction to alcohol after years of stress and depression. After several arrests for DUI, she was incarcerated in the Oklahoma prison system. This is her story of the journey through the system, a journey that led to her recovery from alcoholism and to finding God. Since leaving prison, Nancy continues to share her experience of the healing forgiveness, grace, and mercy found in a relationship with Jesus Christ. She is a facilitator for a Celebrate Recovery women's group, speaks for various groups, and teaches vacation Bible school. As coordinator for Angel Tree, a program designed to bring reconciliation to prisoner's families at Christmas, she shares hope and gifts with the prisoner's children.

In September 2012, Ms.Jackson traveled around the world to Ethiopia, Africa with a missions group, spreading the Word of Jesus Christ and sharing her testimony with the church in Walliso, Ethiopia. "God is Great in every language." says Ms.Jackson.

"Recovery is a journey, not a destination." Ms. Jackson is often heard saying. "People don't change people, God changes people. I want to share what He has done for me. He saved me, in more ways than one."

In August 2014, Ms.Jackson was again called to missions in the Dominican Republic. While there, she suffered from heat exhaustion and was hospitalized. She shares this thought... "We are not promised a joy ride while carrying the "Good News" of Jesus Christ. We are promised a joyous destination when our journey ends."
