Ursula has a strong passion for ministering to single mothers and domestic violence victims. “I was once a single mother and a victim of domestic violence. I understand the struggles that can come with that. I know what it is like to not have things for your children, to not have things for yourself. I know what it is like to have low self-esteem and be a victim of violence. But with Christ, you can be an overcomer and still prosper.”
