Rhonda Stapleton, M.Div., Founder & CEO
Rhonda is an experienced jail chaplain for women and has taught life skills to male prison inmates; served in homeless shelters and on the streets as an outreach worker to homeless youth and adults; directed adult education and relief services with Restore Orlando (an inner city ministry in Holden Heights); mentored youth and adults; and has managed Helping Hands, a volunteer-led initiative providing free home repairs to homeowners in living below the poverty level in the Parramore and Holden Heights neighborhoods.
During Rhonda’s tenure as chaplain to women in Orange County Corrections, she developed relationships with women who are caught in the vicious cycle of substance abuse and street life, and felt a special calling to reach these women for Jesus.
