Tori Shaw      

Executive Director of "Not Forgotten Ministries," & Author of "I had a Secret for Seventeen Years," and Certified Biblical Health Mental Health Coach

Tori Shaw is a homeschool mom, author, speaker, Certified Biblical Mental Health Coach, and the founder-executive director of Not Forgotten Ministries. She married her high school sweetheart, Bryan, and they live in North Carolina with their four young children. Through Shaw’s busy day to day life, she desires to reflect the love of Christ in all that she does.

At sixteen years old, Shaw discovered she was pregnant. In a rushed attempt to hide the pregnancy, Shaw had an abortion less than 24 hours after finding out the news. She left the abortion clinic completely different than when she entered, and her life quickly spiraled downhill.

It took Shaw seventeen years to come out of hiding and share her secret with others. Since doing so, God has used her story in a mighty way. Not Forgotten Ministries, a post-abortion healing ministry, was born through her willingness to shed light on the topic of abortion and expose it for what it really is.

Shaw now walks in complete freedom following her abortion and desires the same for others who have walked a similar journey. Through her ministry work and opportunities to speak, as well as her book, I Had a Secret for Seventeen Years, Shaw hopes to touch the lives of many post-abortive men and women, encouraging them to trust God with their secrets. Shaw has also written a post-abortion Bible study, Free Indeed, as well as Lead with Love, a guide for how to speak about the topic of abortion.

Shaw believes the post-abortive woman is the hidden key in the fight against abortion. When women are healed, free, and are willing to share their experience with abortion, it will have a huge, lasting impact on our generation and its opinion about abortion.

Speech Topics

Healing After Abortion

Women who have experienced abortion typically hide their stories and their pain. Most do not know healing is available or where to find it. When they find healing and freedom from the shame and trauma of abortion, they find their voice and begin exposing the truth about abortion by telling their stories.

Post-Abortive Women are the hidden key in the fight against abortion. When women are healed, free, and are willing to share their experience with abortion, it will have a huge, lasting impact on our generation and its opinion about abortion.

Attendees:

  • Will hear the personal testimony of someone who is experienced abortion.
  • Have a clear understanding of who chooses abortion.
  • Understand the importance of healing for those who have been wounded by abortion.
  • Discover the role everyone plays in the fight against abortion.
  • Understand how post-abortive women and their stories are vital in the fight for life.

Jehovah-Go’el: Redeeming God

No matter what we've experienced in life, what choices we've made, or what regrets we have, our God is the Redeemer! Through Tori's personal testimony of abortion, the audience will see a clear picture of how God can take our worst mistakes and turn them into our message. Not only that, but He allows us to use our brokenness to help others heal from their brokenness.

Attendees:

  • Will her a personal story of God's redemption.
  • Will understand who Jehovah-Go'el truly is.
  • Will feel inspired to trust God in their own circumstances.
  • Will be led to use the redemption they've experienced to help others experience redemption.

Lead with Love: How to Communicate about the Topic of Abortion

Many times, the way we say things matters much more than the words we say. This is entirely true when discussing the topic of abortion. Emotions run high when this issue is brought up, so approaching it with gentleness and understanding is the only way to potentially sway someone’s opinion about abortion.

The division about abortion is wide. In order to close the gap, love has to be our greatest tool. Otherwise, we could quickly cause the divide to widen and deepen.

From the perspective of someone who has experienced abortion, hid it for 17 years, and is now a pro-life advocate, the audience will be given a "Love Toolkit", to help them talk about abortion with friends and family, on social media, or those who disagree with their view.

Tools Discussed:

  • How to discuss the topic of abortion in general.
  • How to talk to abortion-vulnerable women.
  • How to talk to post-abortive women.
