“My life verse is “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God”. Isaiah 41:10”

Paula Cochran

Residential Program Director

“I want to show women that God loves them and He has a purpose for their lives. He wants to heal them and set them free from past hurts and any bondages that they may be in.”

Paula has worked in different women’s recovery homes the last several years and is thrilled to be a part of Leah’s House. In the past she worked as an administrative assistant and church secretary. She has facilitated a number of classes and enjoys working closely with the women as they recover. Her vision is to see the women return into society with a renewed hope of a better future.

Psalms 34:18 says, “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”
