Summary

I was forced into foster care at age 7 and experienced unimaginable pain—from being shot and nearly losing my life to facing constant rejection. In the midst of this darkness, I questioned God and wrestled with a desire for revenge. Through His grace, I found forgiveness and discovered a calling that transformed my suffering into a testimony of redemption. Today, I dedicate my life to working with high-risk urban youth, proving that no matter the struggle, God’s love restores and empowers us.

Forced into foster care at age 7 because of a dysfunctional family, Tyrone Flowers lived out a next decade of hell. His homes over the next 10 years: three different foster homes, residential treatment facilities, eight different group homes, and juvenile reformatory school.

At 17 he was dealt an even more cruel blow, leaving him handicapped and asking “why me?”

Yet Tyrone’s story did not end there. His self-pity turned into something else that was able to change those first 17 years into good, giving him purpose in life, and allowing him to impact the lives of others. He saw disaster changed into triumph, further reinforcing his faith and hope, and inspiring others in the process.
