Tyra Laughlin serves as our U.S. Women’s Program Manager.

A message from Tyra:

Psalm 62:2 brings me encouragement:

“He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense; I shall not be greatly moved.”

And especially from the Passion Bible Translation:

“For he alone is my safe place; His wrap-around presence always protects me. For he is my champion defender; there's no risk of failure with God. So why would I let worry paralyze me, even when troubles multiply around me?”

I am very excited to be a part of the staff at Door of Hope. I have grown and experienced healing personally through various Door of Hope trainings and from being a part of the Authentic Hope Support Group. As a teenager, I was a victim of trauma and abuse leading to years of addiction and further trauma as I tried to numb the pain. My heart aches for others who have experienced abuse and trauma and I want to be a part of an organization that provides steps and support for those who need healing. I know that the Lord has healing for all of us and hope to bring courage and a safe space for other women on the journey.

In addition to joining our Door of Hope Staff in January 2021, Tyra has been working in church ministry full-time for 15 years alongside her husband who is a pastor in Mankato. She has led the women’s ministries: leading small groups, meeting with women in discipleship and counseling, and planning conferences and retreats. Along with women’s ministry, Tyra has been the Business Administrator doing the church finances which she also loves because she is a “math nerd” and loves to work with numbers. Outside of work Tyra loves long walks with her dog, baking bread, studying, and spending time with her family. She and her husband have six adult children and six grandchildren.
