Meet the speaker… Serena Dyksen!

Serena is a wife, mother, speaker, post-abortive, author, and founder of She Found His Grace Ministry. She is also a sidewalk counselor where she ministers to abortion-minded mothers and fathers. Serena shares her story to empower men and women to know their worth through the saving power of Jesus Christ. She currently serves on the board of Northern Indiana Adult and Teen Challenge along with her husband, Bruce. When she’s not in the trenches of ministry, she enjoys spending time with her family, drinking coffee, traveling, and enjoying the beach.

Note from Carrie, Executive Director of Abiding Care –

Every year, we pray and work to bring in amazing speakers. This will be the first year of bringing in someone I know personally. I came to know Serena through a mentor who shared a story of an online abortion recovery ministry that took a call of someone who had taken the abortion pill and experienced something too horrific for me to share here. When I heard that story, I was shaken. Once I got past that, I knew I needed to learn more before we started to receive these kinds of calls. My mentor put me in touch with the leader of a group of post-abortive ministry leaders from around the country. Serena was a part of the group and that is where I had learned that she was the one that had taken the call of that horrific story. We formed a group that met regularly and put on informational summits to warn and equip pro-life groups, pregnancy centers, etc. around the country of what is happening. This year, Serena submitted 35 stories of trauma from the abortion pill for the most recent Supreme Court hearing. Serena is on the front lines every day, taking calls from post-abortive women, or those intending to abort – and equipping others for the fight. So what causes someone to take on this kind of work? When you hear her own story (we won’t give it away!), you will understand exactly why! Her story of redemption, love for Christ and passion for women held captive by the lies of the abortion industry is something I am excited for all of you to see and hear! We know you will be blessed by this powerhouse presentation!
