Judy Fitzgerald is a beloved volunteer at Wings of God. She has been ministering to the Pearls for about a year and a half. We asked Judy if she would share a little bit about herself and her time with Wings of God.
WOG: How did you come to Wings of God?
Judy: A few years ago, the Wings of God Director gave a presentation at my church. I then attended one of the Annual Benefit Dinners and organized our Women’s ministry to fill tote bags with personal care items for the Pearls. I had grown up in a family of heavy drinkers and had worked as a nurse in a 28-day recovery unit. I had experience with 12-step programs, so I thought I could do something at Wings of God.
“I am happy to be an older woman teaching younger women how to live godly lives as I am instructed to do in Titus Chapter 2.”

WOG: How have you grown in your faith volunteering with Wings of God?
Judy: I have grown to love God more as I do volunteer teaching. Sharing God’s limitless lovingkindness and the hope we have because of our Lord Jesus Christ’s sacrificial death, burial, and resurrection for our sins increases my faith. Seeing how God is working in the Pearls’ lives makes me love God more and more.
WOG: Anything else you would like to share about spending time with the Pearls?
Judy: Meeting weekly with the Pearls is truly a highlight of my life. It is thrilling to play a part in helping reshape these dear women’s lives. I share my own experiences to let them see that if God could change me, He can change them, that their brokenness and past mistakes don’t define them. God has a loving plan for each of them in their faith walk. I am happy to be an older woman teaching younger women how to live godly lives as I am instructed to do in Titus Chapter 2.
