Better Instead of Bitter

Story: Stacey has been described as an ordinary woman with Extra Ordinary Faith! She is called to equip others to stand with courage and faith in the face of life's adversity and disappoint-ments.

After ten years of marriage with the blessings of three children Stacey realized her husband was having an affair with another man. She had a choice to make, to withdraw and be bitter with God and the world, or to press into to God and trust Him to care for her and her children. She embraced LIFE!

After three years as a single mother God introduced her to her current husband Doug! Almost ten years and many personal miracles later, Stacey lives a legacy of life with an untouchable resolve to show others how they too can walk in abundant life full of freedom and faith!

Bio

Stacey Wollman is the first in her family lineage to graduate from college.

She has her Bachelors of Science with a double major in Sociology and Human Services with many classes in mass communications and ministry. Stacey has been advocating healthy life and better society campaigns through legislative action, community organizing, volunteer management, fundraising and public relations.

In 2001 she along with a team through SD Tobacco Free Kids Network helped to pass the First Indoor Smoke Free Law in South Dakota banning smoking in work sites and most indoor places. She has been a volunteer with several community coalitions.

Many know her in the 5 state Christian radio listening area as Stacey Winter when she worked for KSLT and KLMP as a radio announcer for several years in the nineties.

Stacey has served on the 2006 Vote Yes for Life Board and is a sponsor on the current 2008 voteyesforlife.com ballot Measure 11 to ban abortion as birth control.

As stated on the Vote Yes for Life website, South Dakota now has 58,000 less kids in their schools than they had 30 years ago. And with the recent election results...Stacey agrees that God commands us in Galations to, “Never grow weary in well doing.”

Bishop Fulton Sheen said, “Right is right, no matter if nobody is right, and wrong is wrong no matter if everybody is wrong.” All those who told the truth about Measure 11 are still right whether they won or lost.

“You have to fight a battle more

than once to win it.”

-- Margaret Thatcher

Stacey currently serves at Care Net Pregnancy Resource Center as the Executive Director.

“We’re compassionate. We’re caring. We’re in the trenches. We work one person at a time doing all we can for that person as the Lord would want us to. We don’t

let our own fears and inadequacies stand in the way. We share our own experiences."

Stacey continues, "I can relate. I also experienced an unplan-

ned pregnancy when I was engaged to my first husband. The Lord has used that vulnerability to relate to people. We all have issues in

our life. But God is a god of grace. He will use our experiences to share that grace."

In the four years under Stacey's leadership the pregnancy center has double the budget to increase outreach and services. She is a trained Abstinence Educator, Abortion Recovery Facilitator and Evangelism Minister.

Stacey and Doug have five children, four biological and one foster; ages 17,15,12,11

and 6 years old.
