Treasures of Darkness: A Prison Journey
BIO
and general info.
FAITH
TO OVERCOME
Living with murderers, drug dealers, frauds and broken humanity, her
prayers for deliverance were not answered the way she expected. Instead the
Lord delivered her "through the fire..." Prison was not part of Trish Jenkins’ ministry plans but it happened.
Conned by a fraud and a breach of the Corporations Act meant losing her
multi-million dollar portfolio, including her family home. It also meant this
Australian mother served 8 months in prison, isolated from her husband and 3
little girls.
TREASURE
IS FOUND IN DARK PLACES
Instead of succumbing to despair and self-pity, Trish chose to believe the Word
of God and in doing so, she introduced
many other prisoners to Christ. In the darkness, Trish found keys to freedom
and courage and a deeper walk with the Holy Spirit.
Trish felt compelled to record everything she
experienced. She
wrote letters to her family and friends by writing letters to
her
husband, who then copied the letter to an email that went out to a
list
that grew rapidly. Those emails went viral and Trish’s readers
shared her
journey with her. What she couldn’t put in letters due to
their sensitive
nature, she wrote in a private journal.
From stories of winning over bullies, to the
despair of persecution
for her faith, Trish shares her journey with warmth and
candour.
Today Trish shares her
hard-won “Treasures” as an entertaining, insightful speaker and author,
inspiring audiences to be courageous in all circumstances. Ministering effectively
to both Christian and secular audiences, she is warm, compassionate and funny! Today, as a well-respected international speaker and
author, Trish’s heart-felt and inspirational story filled with practical advice
is re-igniting fire and faith in the hearts of her audiences.
Trish
and her family were reunited and today are all active members of Citipointe
Church, Australia.

FREEDOM ON THE INSIDE
Prison was not on the “Goal Chart” of
entrepreneur Trish Jenkins. A breach of the Corporations Act meant losing her
multi-million dollar portfolio, including her family home.
It also meant Trish served 8 months
in prison.
Isolated from her husband and 3
little girls, living among Queensland’s most dangerous criminals, Trish could
have succumbed to despair.
But treasure is found in dark places.
Refusing to give in to self-pity,
Trish answered a new calling to make a difference in the lives around her. In
doing so she found a different kind of freedom and healing.
Real and raw, these pages are better
than a memoir; made up of letters, personal journaling and hindsight.
“I assumed I would be a model
prisoner because I was a Christian. So how did I get into so much trouble, so
often, yet with the best of intentions?”
Like when she was reported escaped…
Or setting the alarm off in the
officers’ quarters…
Or having to explain why the woman
she prayed for fell to the floor…
Be Inspired
You’ll laugh, cry and shake your head
at hilarious stories, tragic circumstances, discouragement, hope and ever
present faith.
“You may have no razor wire around
you, but you may feel more like a prisoner than me! Let me share my keys to
freedom with you.”

![[MUST READ]
In 1987, a 74-year old rickshaw puller by the name of Bai Fangli came back to his hometown planning to retire from his backbreaking job. There, he saw children working in the fields, because they were too poor to afford school fees.
Bai returned to Tianjin and went back to work as a rickshaw puller, taking a modest accommodation next to the railway station. He waited for clients 24 hours a day, ate simple food and wore discarded second-hand clothes he found. He gave all of his hard-earned earnings to support children who could not afford education.
In 2001, he drove his rickshaw to Tianjin YaoHua Middle School, to deliver his last installment of money. Nearly 90 years old, he told the students that he couldn't work any more. All of the students and teachers were moved to tears.
In total, Bai had donated a total of 350,000 yuan to help more than 300 poor students continue with their studies. In 2005, Bai passed away leaving behind an inspiring legacy.
If a rickshaw-puller who wore used clothes and had no education can support 300 children to go to school, imagine what you and I can do with the resources we have to bring about positive change in our world!
