Scott and Lori both have a testimony of healing, both physical and emotional. Scott was born with a bone disease called osteo genesis imperfecta. This is a disease that causes the bones to be very brittle. From his first broken bone at 3 weeks old, Scott had numerous fractures throughout his childhood. Simply turning over in bed the wrong way could cause a broken bone. He spent countless hours in hospital beds, thinking that this would be what his life consisted of. That life, by doctor’s standards, would not even be that lengthy. They said that he may not live to be over 12 years old, and if he did, he would have to be a nursing facility where he could be cared for 24 hours a day… but God had other plans. Scott was saved at 12 years old, the year that doctors had given him to die… Since he gave his life to the Lord, he has never had another broken bone. Scott still walks on a walker (He calls “The ScottRod”) or rides on his scooter (The ScottRod 2.0). 

Lori’s testimony is of emotional healing. She grew up in an emotionally abusive home. Though her mom had her in church every time the doors were open, and even sang in other churches as she was soloist, her dad wasn’t a Christian, and wanted no part of Jesus. Lori gave her heart to the Lord when she was very young. Jesus was a place of comfort for her during the hardest times of life. Lori’s Dad and Mom divorced when she was a teenager, and she dreaded the times she had to spend the weekend with him. Lori has always had a love for music, and when she was young, she started singing with her mom. Not long after she started singing specials in church, she was sitting at the kitchen table, singing a song, not really thinking about what she was doing. Her dad recorded her singing on a voice recorder. He instantly played it back, saying, “do you think anyone wants to hear that? Do you think anyone wants to hear you sing? No one wants to hear you sing,” Those words hurt and left scars that will not heal. Through brokenness from this and many other things, God uses Lori’s testimony to minister to people that have experienced some of those same types of struggles.

Both Scott and Lori strive to be an open book and be real to the people that God allows them to minister to. They realize that things they have been through can be used to help people that are in the middle of the battle. Their goal is to tell everyone they can about Jesus and what He will do in a life that is given to Him.
