Lisa Leigh Miller
Lisa Leigh Miller is a wife, mother, pastor, Christian speaker, author, musician, and vocalist. She was sold on the black market in Mexico City at the age of two and eventually rescued by her family with the help of the U.S. Embassy. With no mother and a father who was a career criminal, she faced many challenges, including a childhood riddled with abuse and the loss of her four-year-old daughter. Lisa’s story testifies to the powerful healing grace of God. He miraculously delivered her and brought her to the other side of tremendous heartache and loneliness. Her ministry is dedicated to sharing her personal testimony telling others what God has done for her He desires to do for them.
Finding Strength in Scripture
Memory Verses aren’t just for kids. Putting key verses on index cards and placing them on a vanity mirror, in your car, or on your computer where you can see them daily helps to remember the Word of God. Finding scriptures that are relevant to issues you are facing can help bring strength and peace into your day.
From Abandonment to Redemption
Lisa’s mother committed suicide when she was only two years old. After her father hitchhiked with her from Chicago to Mexico City he was arrested. Lisa was left abandoned and homeless as a toddler on the streets of Mexico.
After a long process, her grandparents in the States were able to rescue her with the help of the US Embassy. However. This began a new season of molestation and abuse by several family members, each unknown to the other.
As you can imagine, this took a toll on Lisa’s self-esteem and mental health. She carried guilt and was in emotional bondage. With a background in theater, she hid her secrets from family and friends for years.
Discovering Healing and Grace
Lisa’s true story of her life, Sold to the Highest Bidder: A Father’s relentless love, was published in 2021.
She creatively expressed the hard facts in a way that those who have experienced similar issues can relate and those who have never had a personal experience of abuse can have a better understanding of the repercussions and why people may behave the way they do.
You may have never experienced any of Lisa's hardships, but my guess is, you know someone who has. Consider purchasing a copy to gift them as a reminder that there is Hope and Freedom in Jesus.
Women and men alike are reading this powerful book and using it as a tool to share hope with others who feel stuck and hopeless because of past struggles.
Spreading Hope and Healing
Publishing this book has opened up many opportunities for Lisa. She has been invited to speak at multiple churches and events to share her story. Bible Study groups are studying the book together. Many are sharing their copy and purchasing more for friends and family members.
Lisa feels this book was in preparation for the assignment the Lord has given her for the year
Trading Ashes for Beauty: The Trading Floor Events
During the Trading Floor Events, there is a time of praise & worship, a full message, and special ministry time where each woman will have the chance to walk across “the trading floor”. There is nothing special about this wood-looking mat but what is special is the transformation that women find as they step forward in faith, lay down their burdens, and receive the beautiful truth that the Lord has for them.
Women are trading ashes for beauty, grief for peace, sickness for health, sorrow for joy, resentment for forgiveness, darkness for light, and thoughts of death for eternal life. Those that have been stuck in complacency are being set on fire! Every lie of the enemy is being traded for God’s truth. The answer to every question and struggle is always Jesus.
The shackles are falling off and women are experiencing a Freedom that they never thought was possible!
