From Rejection to Redemption
Born to two crack-addicted parents, Teela Matthews’ life began under unimaginable circumstances. Taken into foster care immediately after birth, her journey of resilience and redemption started when her biological great aunt found and adopted her, providing a stable home filled with faith and love. Growing up in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Teela was raised in a Christian-Judeo household, attending Shalom Hebrew Academy and becoming fluent in Hebrew at a young age. Her childhood was further enriched by her passion for ballet, which she began at just five years old.
Teela’s spiritual transformation began in 2014 with her first encounter with God. She eventually made a decision to dedicate her life to ministering to the broken, the lost, and the rejected. Having faced and overcome challenges ranging from depression to sexual immorality and witchcraft, she uses her testimony to reach those struggling with purpose, self-worth, and faith.
Despite her tumultuous beginnings, Teela’s life took an academic and courageous turn. From earning a Master’s degree in Molecular Science to becoming a dedicated microbiologist. Today, she balances her professional accomplishments with her role as a devoted mother to three beautiful daughters.
As a widow and a woman of faith, Teela’s mission is clear: to save souls for the Kingdom by sharing her story of deliverance and redemption. Her ministry is a beacon of hope for those who feel abandoned, unloved, or angry at themselves or the world. Through her authenticity and unwavering belief in God’s grace, Teela Matthews continues to inspire others to embrace healing, restoration, and purpose.
