After dedicating a decade of his life to assisting in the promotion and
marketing of artists like The Gaither Homecoming Friends, The Martins, The
Cathedrals and many others, Terry Hudson felt God leading him in an entirely
different direction.
Terry's focus turned more to equipping ministries with the tools they need
to be more effective communicators of the Gospel as well as successfully
respond to the dreams and callings |
that God placed
within them. His program Bold Pursuit leads the believer into an exciting
journey to boldly go after all that their creator has in store for them.
Therefore, leaving behind the mental and spiritual blockades that have held
them back.
Terry Hudson's passion to reach the lost coupled with his experience in
motivating believers to action is the combination that has helped many
ministries grow. Whether your congregation is in need of a renewal or just
simply hoping to begin training for discipleship, Terry Hudson can work
along side your church to train, teach and motivate them to reach their
community for Christ. |

Due to childhood illness, Laura Hudson has been completely bald since she
was nine years old. Laura's hair loss is due to Alopecia Universalis, an
auto-immune disorder for which there is no cure. Growing up, Laura was
constantly teased and tormented at school, had few friends and was told that
she would never amount to very much. Fearing rejection, she hid the fact
that she wore a wig for fifteen years, even as an adult. |
The acceptance of her husband and children challenged Laura to change her
life and she decided to start by changing the way she thought about herself.
She accepted that she could live with being bald and wanted to help others.
She wanted to help children and others understand why teasing hurts and how
much damage it can do. She knew the effect teasing had on the way she saw
herself growing up. She wanted to spare others from being made to feel
worthless because of someone else's thoughtless comments.
Laura's ministry has expanded and found a place also through the hearts and
lives of women. Laura says, "a little girl with wounds grows up to become a
woman with very deep scars. I can relate to her, I understand her pain."
Laura says, "I would have given anything to have someone tell me they
understood what I was going through, that it was OK to be different, that if
I just hung in there and was strong I would be victorious. It would have
made all the difference in the world. I could have been spared so many
doubts, questions and fears. Since I didn't have that person, I want to be
that person."
Laura knows how hard it was to grow up "different" and be a Christian and
have a Savior to call on that was faithful and loving. She can't imagine how
hard it must be to go through life's hurt and trials alone. She shares with
audiences that, "God loves you with a love that embraces you whether you are
over weight, under weight, handicapped or like in my case bald."
Laura Hudson may not be a common household name but her story is known and
talked about in homes throughout the nation. Laura was first introduced to
the country by way of a national television show The Learning Channel's
(TLC) "A Makeover Story" and the relational talk show "His Side, Her Side".
In addition to working full time as a Children's Pastor, she travels
performing speaking engagements at Churches, Universities and Conferences
incorporating both life and comedy into her "Cry Hard, Laugh Harder" Events.
