OUR
DIRECTOR
My name is Kim Sanders and I am a follower of Jesus
Christ. He is my beloved Savior. On March 6, 1995
at 2:00AM., I had a Pauline conversion experience
where I met the Spirit of the living God personally.
There was not a fiber left in my being of who I
was before that amazing night. He led me down a
selfless path of love and compassion for others,
especially for those mentally ill, the lost and
the brokenhearted.
The Lord sent me to school
at the age of 37, with horrible memories of my past
school experience, a learning disability, and ADHD.
I remember his faithful words, “just GO and
I will take care of the rest. And so He did! I received
my Bachelors degree in Psychology, with minor in
Bible Studies. I continued on with my Masters Degree
in Clinical Psychology from Evangel University.
God created a passion in me
to disciple and train hurting women who have not
been able to function effectively in society. I
personally identify with Isaiah 61:1-4: “God
has anointed me to preach the good news to the poor,
bind up the broken hearted and proclaim FREEDOM
to the captives, releasing them from darkness, comfort
those who mourn, restore their gladness and joy,
and help them rebuild their lives which affects
generations to come!” My spiritual gifts are
teaching, shepherding, exhortation, giving, wisdom,
and discernment.
I am excited about learning
and trying new things; opening myself up to be filled
with more of Christ and sharing Him with others.
I enjoy the challenge of developing programs that
reveal God’s Truth in personal growth. My
goal is to lead women into a loving relationship
with Jesus and train them through Biblical principles,
to develop their God-given purpose in life.
OUR
ADMINISTRATOR
My name is Teri Comstock and I am dedicated to Christ’s
work. My credentials did not come from a fancy school,
but from the school of hard knocks, as they say.
I have been refined by the fire of life experience.
Having gone through a childhood of dysfunction,
sexual abuse, mental abuse, and abandonment, I had
become suicidal by age 12 and hospitalized. I ran
away from home by age 16 and by the age of 30 I
had started cooking meth and was on my way to prison
for 20 yrs as a prior and persistent offender. After
being jailed many times and in drug rehab twice,
I was convinced, as many others are, that life was
hopeless. I just wanted to give up on my life; quit!
But I so desperately wanted to be a mother to my
three children. The devil had a hold on my life
and was using me to kill others by making and dealing
meth.
By the grace of God I was
sent to the Teen Challenge program in Branson West,
Mo and given one more chance to change my life and
become a productive member of society. I spent a
year at Teen Challenge renewing my mind with God’s
Word and becoming what He wanted me to be. He has
called me to tell those who believe they have lost
all hope, that there is hope for them, that He can
save them like He saved me. I worked with Kim at
Teen Challenge for three years. I started as an
intern, then a house mother, intake coordinator,
and finally program supervisor. As the intake coordinator
I worked with probation and parole officers and
judges to get ladies released from jail and sentenced
to our program as an option to more hopeless institutionalization.
It is my prayer that women
who are tired of trying to make life work their
way, will join us at Table Rock Freedom Center and
experience true life, God’s way! It is my
belief that the only sure way to be released from
whatever has a person in bondage, whether it’s
drugs, sex, money, etc., is to fall in love with
Jesus and allow Him to set you free! For who the
Son sets free is free indeed (John 8:36)!!
