Victoria Lyn began speaking by a moving of the Holy Spirit in January of 2000, when a religion teacher at a High School repeatedly asked, "can someone from the Respect Life team come back and share a personal testimony tomorrow?" Victoria was amazed when she heard herself say "yes", that she would come back the next day to speak to the teens. She shared her moving testimony as a post-abortive mother and encouraged the teens toward living the virtue of chastity by allowing them to enter into the journey of her experiences as opposed to only preaching at them. Teens are deeply inspired hearing directly from someone who has actually suffered through the consequences of "choice" by openly sharing how the grace of God redeemed her heart, mind and soul, when she surrendered her life to Christ. "Victoria's Secrets Revealed" is a presentation of hope, healing and redemption as well as confession, commitment and chastity...all from personal experience, which captivates her audience. Teens come away from her talks with a renewed sense of purpose and desire to save themselves for marriage, as well as a deeper appreciation for their dignity and that of their brothers and sisters in Christ. Victoria's genuine love for the youth is transparent as she openly shares her heart and effortlessly inspires her audience toward life and purity.
In addition to the talk topics below, Victoria is available for your "fund raising" events as a speaker who presents from her own personal experiences with abortion; going from being afraid and alone to experiencing God's redeeming grace. Victoria inspires your audience to give and give generously, as her testimony touches hearts in a unique way that allows your guests and supporters to 'see and feel' just how important it is to financially support your great works, so others are not "alone and afraid", but have your support through their financial support. She helps your donors to realize just how critical their support truly is, so you may assist abortion-minded mothers and fathers. so they do not have to go through all Victoria (and so many other mothers and fathers) have, and so that more lives may be saved!
Since 1997, Victoria has been involved with the pro-life movement by volunteering at crisis pregnancy centers, sidewalk counseling outside abortion clinics and mentoring single mother's. After 9-11, she answered the call to full time pro-life missionary work, moving from Miami, FL to Atlanta, GA to work with Women 4 Women ministries for two years. She answered an abortion hotline and ministered to mother's in crisis pregnancies, helping them choose life by lovingly sharing the truth and concretely providing the real support that was needed for these women to choose life. In 2003, Victoria had the honor of having a baby named after her, though originally scheduled for abortion.
In 2002 and 2003, Victoria spoke at the Atlanta capitol as a part of 'Together for Life' and the 'Silent No More' campaign. In 2003, Victoria's presentation and testimony to St. Michael's Lifeteen group was voted the "best talk of the year". In 2004, Victoria was part of the first graduating class of Christopher West's Summer Institute studying The Theology of the Body and incorporates these beautiful teachings from St John Paul II into her talks. In 2005, once again, she was one of just a handful of women who shared their testimonies in Dallas, where Roe v Wade was passed, as part of the 'Silent No More' campaign.

Teen girls appreciate and applaud this refreshing look at what it means to be a woman of God and reflect real beauty in a world with so many counterfeits. For ages 13-18+.
