Our Staff
When Sharon and her husband Stan returned to PA in 2011, after spending time in TN,
the Lord directed them to establish a ministry for women coming out of life controlling issues much like a similar ministry she had been involved with there.
After more than 18 months of searching for the right place, the ministry purchased a foreclosure that was in
desperate need of purpose and restoration. With the help of some faithful volunteers, the house was renovated and dedicated in January of 2014. Since then, we have been a part of the restoration of many desperate and hurting
women. We disciple them in the truth and power of God's Word. It is our goal to plant the seeds of the Gospel into every student who enters our doors.

I spent most of my adolescence in and out (more in than out) of psychiatric facilities due to self-mutilation, mental illness, and suicidal ideation. By the time I was in my late teen and early adult years, I was so broken and hopeless that I did whatever I had to do to stay numb. After a near fatal suicide attempt in June of 2017, I came to Women at the Well. I completed my program, did an internship, and am now on staff.
In the last year and a half I have really come to KNOW the Lord and Who He is. In KNOWING Him, I have come to know hope, peace, joy, security, and abundant life. He has freed me from self-mutilation, addiction, and suicide. He has restored my mind and continues to help me replace the lies that I have believed about myself with His TRUTH! I love life and I am so thankful for the NEW life that He has given me. I have two amazing, precious Godsons who are by far my biggest blessings. I am currently enrolled in online college classes through Lee University and am working toward my Counseling degree. |

For 15 years my life was centered around my addiction. Anything and everything I did depended on the amount of drugs that were in my system. I was dependent on them. I was in and out of jail, in and out of the psychiatric unit, stealing, and doing whatever it took to make sure I stayed high and medicated. I never wanted to face my realities. I overdosed intentionally and woke up out of a coma; I was desperate and wanted it all to end. I was tired, spread way too thin by my circumstances, and ready to die.
Today I am redeemed, recovered, and forgiven. I am a completely different person. I answered the call to recovery in July of 2017. God has taken me on an incredible journey. My journey included (but was not limited to) forgiveness, grief processing, and intensive self searching. The change and the healing was fast, painful, but very much effective. Today I wake up and depend on God to get me through my day. I am interning at the ministry and am a Veterinarian Technician student at Penn Foster. My journey still continues as I answer to the calling God has on my life. Glory to God. |
