Trina Davis
Program Manager
Trina serves as the Program Manager at God’s Resort – The Well. Originally from Arkansas, she moved to Joplin in 2011 after sensing God’s call on her family. She is married to Ron and they have one son, Sammy. Her son Deacon is in Heaven, and his impact continues to shape her ministry to women.
Trina’s personal journey—including an abusive first marriage, infertility, and the loss of a child—deepened her faith and fueled her passion to walk alongside hurting women.

Before joining God’s Resort – The Well, Trina spent five years at Loving Grace, serving in multiple roles and gaining extensive experience in trauma-informed support and nonprofit ministry. She is committed to praising the God “who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble” (2 Corinthians 1:3–4), and she strives to “rejoice with those who rejoice and mourn with those who mourn” (Romans 12:15). Her passion is to stand in the gap for women, sharing Christ’s love and helping them find community, healing, and hope.
Stephanie Corral
Life Transition Coordinator
Stephanie serves as Life Transition Coordinator at God’s Resort – The Well, working one-on-one with women, discipling them in Biblical love and truth, and helping them grow in their relationship with the Lord. Although she grew up with religion and went to a Christian school, she did not fully understand what a personal relationship with Jesus looked like until 2016, after struggling with addiction and the end of her marriage. That year, she moved into a women’s discipleship home, much like The Well, seeking support and freedom from prescription drug addiction. During her stay, she experienced God’s unconditional love and the power of community—people who listened, prayed, and walked with her as she began to heal. This time transformed her life, restored her relationships, and set her on a path of freedom in Christ.
Stephanie is passionate about guiding and encouraging women to encounter Jesus, walk in freedom, and find hope and healing. She enjoys studying God’s Word, connecting with people, hiking, exploring, baking, journaling, and volunteering. She lives in Joplin with her husband, Dan, who works at Watered Gardens.

Jamie Myers serves as Life Transition Coordinator for God’s Resort – The Well. She has spent more than 40 years walking alongside others as an educator, counselor, and mentor.

She looks forward to investing in the ladies who come to The Well and, just as importantly, learning from them along the way.

Shirley Lewis
Administrative Assistant
Shirley serves as Administrative Assistant, supporting the mission and daily operations at God’s Resort and The Well. She grew up on a rural farm in Taney County, the youngest of six children, where her father was a full gospel minister and she sang with her sisters in church. These early experiences, along with challenges in her childhood, shaped her compassion and empathy for teenagers facing struggles.
Shirley and her husband, James, have three children—Veronica, Valerie, and Blake—and five grandchildren. They have also served as foster parents to teenage girls, experiencing both the joys and challenges of fostering. Over the years, Shirley has worked in education, childcare, accounting, city government, and healthcare administration.
Shirley began her journey with Loving Grace in August 2024 and quickly felt deeply connected to its mission. Her faith was further affirmed when visiting God’s Resort on Pearl Street with her son; seeing the blue doors, they both felt God’s peaceful presence. She is excited to serve in this ministry and witness the marvelous ways God will continue to work through it.
Amanda Reed
House Assistant
Amanda serves as a House Assistant at God’s Resort – The Well, serving as a spiritual mentor and encouraging role model for women. Raised in Cassville, MO, she grew up in church but did not fully understand what it meant to walk in a daily relationship with God. Trying to live life on her own terms led to trauma, heartache, and eventually addiction, until God brought her into a program similar to The Well where He transformed her life, filled her with the Holy Spirit, and revealed the truth of His Word.
For the past nine years, Amanda has felt called to share hope with the brokenhearted. Luke 15:7 was the first scripture that came alive to her, reminding her of heaven’s joy over one repentant heart. She has since shared her testimony through various ministries and most recently served young women at Loving Grace. Now, she is grateful to serve with God’s Resort – The Well.
Amanda is also the proud mom of a handsome 22-year-old son, Drake Reed, and is continually grateful for the Lord’s blessings in her life.
Crystal Blomgren
House Assistant
Crystal serves as a House Assistant at God’s Resort – The Well, offering encouragement, stability, and compassionate support to the women in the home. After her life took an unexpected turn in 2022 when she was widowed while raising three children at home, Crystal felt God leading her into a new season of purpose. She returned to school to complete her degrees in psychology and counseling, with a heart to help others understand that they are created in the image of God and that, no matter their story, there is always redemption and hope in Him.
Crystal’s own journey has deepened her empathy and strengthened her desire to walk alongside others with grace and truth. When she is not at work, she can be found doing schoolwork, homeschooling her two remaining daughters at home, or enjoying quieter moments baking, crocheting, and reading. She is grateful to serve at The Well and to be part of a ministry that reflects God’s faithfulness and restoring love.
Y’Cedria Ingram
House Assistant
Y’Cedria serves as a House Assistant at God’s Resort – The Well, walking alongside women as a mentor and encourager, helping them experience the freedom and hope found in Christ. Raised by parents who taught her to live in a way that is pleasing to the Lord, she developed a deep respect for integrity and the importance of upholding truth even when no one is watching. She met her husband in college and fully surrendered
her life to Christ during her freshman year, a decision that transformed her perspective and set her on a path of ministry.
Y’Cedria’s faith became personal and alive when she recognized that the gospel had rescued her from darkness—a gift shared through her husband—and it inspired her to help others discover the freedom only Jesus offers. She has always felt a special tug toward ministry with children and families and delights in seeing Jesus be Jesus, the Great I AM. Her heart is to guide women into encountering Christ, walking in truth, and experiencing the transformative power of His love. Y’Cedria and her husband are raising four daughters and her firstborn’s testimony of overcoming challenges continues to strengthen Y’Cedria’s faith. She and her husband enjoy traveling for ministry, caring for their family, and staying active together. They believe that ministry begins at home, and they treasure time together outdoors, being active, caring for animals, and truly loving one another deeply.
