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. 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 ranch 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 speaks with women all over
the United States - at conferences, retreats, events, and women’s
shelters. Paula's testimony is very powerful
and can touch the lives of people all over the
world.
If you would like
Paula to come and share this awesome testimony with
the people in your area, please contact us. Here
She
will speak at any church, conference, or event for
the Glory of the Lord. You will see burdens
lifted and people walk away from the drugs and
alcohol as they hear her testimony.
