About Our Staff

Founder: Virginia Martin

We have a real enemy (Satan) in the world that tries to destroy us – everyday is a battle.  In this world there are people that exploit, take advantage and make slaves out of our children.  Innocent children being robbed of their innocence. Leaving this girls manipulated into thinking that they are useless, hopeless pieces of human flesh made only to service others perverted desires. These girls end up feeling hopeless – scared – manipulated and threatened with death.  Their lives shattered and traumatized – addicted – rejected – and praying for death, maybe even planning their own suicide.  We as Ambassadors for Christ are crying out for justice for these girls.  House of Abundant Life provides a safe house, restores hope and healing for these girls who have been manipulated and forced into commercial sexual exploitation.

We will offer more than a warm bed, clothes and shelter over their head, we offer God’s healing to the negative cycles and trauma that has come their way. The answer lies in a faith based program, faith that Jesus loves them and cares for them and with the miraculous power of Jesus is allowed to bring change and healing to these broken lives.

Stand in the gap with us. Will you give only to one person where it will be gone in a minute with nothing to reap more harvest?  Or will you, by partnering with House of Abundant Life, plant a seed that will grow and produce change in a life that will keep on producing to the next generation.  It is time to cry out for justice to see these girls restored…one life at a time.

Virginia Martin understands the fears and concerns of young women who find themselves at their wits end with what appears to be no answer in sight.

At age 15, Virginia’s father died at 42 leaving her and her three siblings in a situation that looked like no end, her mother took on six jobs to provide financially and Virginia became the “mom” for her siblings.

Her life went in a direction that saw her pregnant and all alone as well.  It was then that she discovered new meaning to God’s Word when it says “I will be the Father to the father-less.”  Her life could have gone in a hopeless, troubled direction, but by embracing God her life has been a vessel where God can reach those who feel empty and hopeless.

Virginia and her husband, Kenny have started Upper Room Ministries and pastor Upper Room Fellowship Church.  They have started House of Abundant Life to see what Jesus talks about in John where He promises to manifest Himself to others.  Manifest means to bring from unseen to seen, unknown to the known.  Kenny and Virginia have a burning desire to see the captives set free and showing the love of God to oppressed.
