Welcome to Inside Out Ministries International!
Healing from the Inside Out
Hi, I’m April! Life hasn’t been easy, and like many of you, I’ve faced challenges that left me feeling broken and alone. But through my journey of healing, I discovered the incredible power of small groups, and I want to share that life-changing experience with you.
About Me
I grew up in church, striving to be a “good Christian” by following all the rules and helping others. On the surface, my life seemed perfect—I was married to Keith, had a ministry-focused life, and appeared to have it all together. But after 15 years of marriage, my world fell apart when I discovered Keith had an affair.
The betrayal left me devastated and questioning everything—my faith, my self-worth, and my identity. I realized I had been living for others’ approval instead of knowing and loving my true self. My journey led me to confront false beliefs I had carried since childhood—beliefs like “I’m bad and defective” or “Other people are more important than me and what I have to say” “I am not good enough”—so I began the hard work of healing.
Choosing to Heal
Healing wasn’t easy, but it was worth it. I started journaling, created small groups, and started Yoga, and began reconnecting with my body to process deep trauma buried for years. I learned how unprocessed pain and false beliefs were keeping me stuck in my fear and my anxieties. I began learning on how to face my pain and the journey of inner healing, and also discovered tools like breathwork and body awareness that helped me find peace, love and acceptance.
Over time, Keith joined me on this journey, and together, we rebuilt our marriage on honesty, connection, and love.
Why Small Groups are my passion
Small groups became the cornerstone of my healing. In these spaces, I found the courage to be vulnerable, share my pain, and uncover the lies that were holding me back. There was no fixing or judgment—just listening, acceptance, validation, and connection.
In 2007, I began facilitating small groups, creating safe environments for women to process their pain, grieve their losses, and find healing.
In 2020, I launched online small groups through Zoom, to extend transformative experiences to women beyond my local area offering a place for women everywhere to heal and grow and find their freedom.

SMALL GROUP TESTIMONY
"I’ve never been comfortable talking about myself or my story in a group of people, especially the parts that are dark or shameful or just seem dangerous to tell. And feelings have always been really hard for me to identify or recognize. A few years ago, I realized that people around me who knew me well often knew what I was feeling before I even knew I was feeling anything at all. I signed up for April’s small group with a lot of trepidation. I knew I was in a season where I needed to learn to talk about my story, in a safe place, and let myself be known, but I really, really didn’t want to go there. Participating in this small group was one of the best decisions of my life. I found a safe place, where I was able to learn more of how it looks to engage my story, and the stories of others, with curiosity. I was able to see and be seen, to hear and be heard and able to choose to respond or remain silent. A place where I was encouraged and equipped to deepen my own relationship with God, and learn to engage with him about the painful parts and wrestle through them with him.”
