Sue is the Founding Director of Healing Hearts Ministries and currently serves as Executive Director. Healing Hearts Ministries was birthed from Sue’s personal experience with an abortion at the age of 18 and all of the emotional and physical complications that followed. In 1982, she experienced healing from her abortion through Jesus Christ and felt led to comfort other women who have experienced the same trauma. Using the Bible as a foundation, she has counseled women since 1984 and is the author of three Bible studies that have ministered to women, men, and youth across the United States and around the world. Her story has been shared with thousands over radio, television, at women’s conferences, and in churches across the United States.

As an ICU nurse who has seen suffering in and out of the hospital and as a research nurse who loves details, God has equipped Cindy to see the utmost necessity of God’s healing and grace as well as the beauty found in the intricacies and truth of the Word.

She has enjoyed serving with Healing Hearts since she herself experienced healing as a client going through one of the first Healing Hearts Bible study groups in 1985.
