Welcome to the One Way Out - Second Chance Blog. Here is a place to tell everyone about the good things God has done for you, your experiences with One Way Out, and your “Second Chance” stories and testimonies. Talking about how One Way Out has impacted you will encourage hurting women in our community and abroad. There is One Way Out… and His name is Jesus.

First Edition with Dan Betzer and Jeanie Turner, Stacy Nihipali and Second Chance Upscale Rescale will air Thursday July 3rd at 8:00pm. There will also be a part 2 of this show to be announced probably the next Thursday but we will let you know. Pastor Betzer was so gracious interviewing us and giving the store much attention. It was good. We also had a great time.

Please remember is you can’t watch this on the air, watch on line about 2 weeks following the airing on the Video and Audio page. We will put a link on our new http://www.secondchanceupscaleresale.com/index.html web site. Plus, keep checking on http://firstassemblyministries.com/

[Article from the News-press: “Thrift shop reveals mission of One Way Out in Fort Myers”]

The little thrift shop Second Chance Upscale Resale has existed for years opposite Broadway Palm Dinner Theater in Fort Myers, but Saturday the owners threw open its doors to tell the community their story.

The organization behind the store is One Way Out, a ministry of First Assembly of God in Fort Myers. The woman who dreamed it all is Jeanie Turner, who 10 years ago started helping women who were hurting.

One Way Out remains under the church’s umbrella but just got its tax-exempt status. Saturday’s festivities were meant to mark a new period in the organization’s history and raise public awareness about the shop and the cause it represents.

Turner said she had turned to God during her recovery from alcoholism and wanted a way to help women. Her efforts started with exotic dancers. She’d slip into clubs and leave women little gifts, her card and a promise she’d be there for them if they ever needed help or decided they wanted out.
