Paula Abbott
has been an ordained Minister since
June 2004
Paula
was born in El Paso, Texas, and raised in Lubbock,
Texas, until the age of 17. Paula comes from a
cattle ranching family. Brought up knowing the
cowboy lifestyle, Paula knows the heart of the
Western culture. She understands simple,
honest, and the importance of your word. Paula
had a rough life. She was given up as a child,
and adopted into a family where the father grew to
resent her. Her adopted father was very
mentally abusive. She was made to feel
unwanted, even today, by her father. After
leaving at the age of 16, Paula found herself in a
downward spiral. She tried to take her life
three times, and she was into drugs and alcohol for
13 years of her early life. All this time, she
was trying to fill the void in her life.
Then one
day on the outskirts of Amarillo, Texas, she found a
"Cowboy Church." Paula didn’t realize that
this would change her life forever. Going into
Amarillo Cowboy Church, she was not judged and
looked down on; she was received with love and
kindness—something that Paula had never felt before.
In 1999, she married a cowboy from Amarillo.
Pastor Toby Abbott helped her get back on the right
track and begin a work for Jesus.
Now
Pastors Toby and Paula have a cowboy church in the
Dallas area.
She serves as an inspirational
speaker to people all over the United States.
Through her messages, she has connected with people
about difficult subjects including
drug and alcohol addiction,
personal rejection, rape, suicide attempts, physical and
emotional abuse, and the
dangers of approval addiction. She speaks on how God
took her life of despair and rejection and turned it
into a life of victory and triumph!
