WWT is here to teach, guide, and encourage you to be the women God created you to be. Today, you can be new in CHRIST and leave the old behind. It is a lot of work, but you are worth it. The mission of WWT: Romans 12:2 says: “Do not be conformed to this world, but be trans-formed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.”
Worthy Women was established because our founder Sonshine Troche, idolized drugs, violence, men, and money for 20 years. In 1993, Sonshine was on her way to prison for attempted murder. She last used drugs on July 4, 1997, and surrendered to Jesus on November 9, 1997. She began mentoring female addicts in 2006 and wit-nessed one too many dying from addiction (idolatry). Sonshine worked for 20 years as a drywall hanger, worked in a female juvenile program, owned Sonshine’s Drywall & Repairs Inc., volunteered with the Christian Motorcyclist Association Prison Ministry, volunteered in the La Porte Co. Jail for 13 years, and worked at the Westville Prison for three years. Sonshine started the Worthy Women Recovery Home, Inc. in September of 2008 and opened in May of 2016.
