Tori Shaw

Tori Shaw is a homeschool mom, author, speaker, Certified Biblical Mental Health Coach, and the founder-executive director of Not Forgotten Ministries. She married her high school sweetheart, Bryan, and they live in North Carolina with their four young children. Through Shaw’s busy day to day life, she desires to reflect the love of Christ in all that she does.

At sixteen years old, Shaw discovered she was pregnant. In a rushed attempt to hide the pregnancy, Shaw had an abortion less than 24 hours after finding out the news. She left the abortion clinic completely different than when she entered, and her life quickly spiraled downhill.

It took Shaw seventeen years to come out of hiding and share her secret with others. Since doing so, God has used her story in a mighty way. Not Forgotten Ministries, a post-abortion healing ministry, was born through her willingness to shed light on the topic of abortion and expose it for what it really is.

Shaw now walks in complete freedom following her abortion and desires the same for others who have walked a similar journey. Through her ministry work and opportunities to speak, as well as her book, I Had a Secret for Seventeen Years, Shaw hopes to touch the lives of many post-abortive men and women, encouraging them to trust God with their secrets. Shaw has also written a post-abortion Bible study, Free Indeed, as well as Lead with Love, a guide for how to speak about the topic of abortion.

Shaw believes the post-abortive woman is the hidden key in the fight against abortion. When women are healed, free, and are willing to share their experience with abortion, it will have a huge, lasting impact on our generation and its opinion about abortion.
