Houstonian Dr. Shelia “Sugar” Trask spreading the gospel, sharing life-enhancing testimonies through her latest book

HOUSTON — Kashonda Graham was amongst those who were quite blissful and enraptured after learning about the latest developments surrounding her aunt, Dr. Shelia “Sugar” Trask.

Said Graham, who wasted little time taking to her Facebook page Saturday morning: “I’m so overly joyed for my favorite auntie Sugar Trask. She started from the bottom and now God has her here!”

For Trask, a longtime evangelist, internationally-acclaimed motivational speaker and life coach, an established professional chef and accomplished author, life couldn’t be any better, as evidenced by her niece’s latest social media post.

Among the reasons is that for someone who has worked vigorously and persevered diligently to arrive at such a momentous stage in her life, Trask is clearly one who has started from the bottom and now she’s here — with God, her Helper, leading the way.

“I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become,” Trask often says.

All of which sums up why Trask, a native of Minneapolis, Minnesota, deemed it essential to drive home a similar point in her latest book entitled, “Shattered Mirror: A Life Of Despair The Introduction,” a real life story in which Trask shares of thought-provoking, life-enhancing testimony as way to greatly enable the masses to — in a nutshell — draw closer to God.

After all, as a seasoned woman of the cloth who has been assigned to carry out her God-mandated vision of spreading the gospel, “Shattered Mirror: A Life Of Despair The Introduction” essentially is an eye-catching, attention-grabbing project that’s geared largely toward empowering Trask’s reading audience to view even the harshest of situations and circumstances from God’s perspective.

“The vision came about in 1977 after I accepted my salvation,” Trask told Making Headline News this week. “I always knew one day I would tell my testimony in speaking engagements or books.”

Fortunately for Trask — who has labeled 2017 the “Year of Abundance” — and because of the divine calling upon her life, she’s basking and dwelling in a season whereby she’s being afforded the golden opportunities to share her story.

The founder and chief executive officer of Scarfree03Ministries, Trask has managed to assemble a series of books that essentially are geared largely toward sharing hope, restoration, forgiveness, unconditional love, and deliverance from the past.

She began sharing her plethora of life’s tear-jerking, spiritually gut-checking testimonies while once in a treatment center. However, it wasn’t until sometime in 2003 that she adopted the lofty vision to compose books.

Her latest book will be officially released this week and will be available for purchase at Amazon.com, www.scarfree03ministries.com, via E-book, and Kindle Christian Book Stores. Also, a book signing is scheduled at a Houston-area Kroger on a date that has yet to be announced.

“The divine message is redemption is for us no matter what the sins we have committed,” Trask said. “God’s love is the greatest love of all. If he did it for me, He will bring you through.”

And because Trask’s Creator has proven time and again to provide her a way of escape, to routinely rescue her from harm’s way, to customarily exalt and elevate her whenever she decreased so that He could increase, she can honestly profess today that she’s basking in the glory of her much-anticipated harvest season.

Need more proof?

For starters, exercise your faith by purchasing her book or booking her for speaking engagement because, as she proven time and again since much-anticipated launching of her ministry, God has a word for you.

“The purpose (for which) God saved and delivered me is to go out and allow people to see Him through me and through the light that shines through me,” said Trask, whose longstanding ministry has allowed her to travel abroad to spread the gospel, most notably to Haiti, Israel, Canada, and Hawaii, among other establishments. “For me (it’s an honor) to witness and minister to the down and out, to the prostituted, drug addicts, homosexuals, to the Pastors and preachers, to go to the mission fields and save souls for the kingdom.”

Also, she is founder of the organizations: Women Who Have Overcome Adversities and Men Who have Overcome Adversities and will launch Children Who Have Overcome Adversities in early April.

In addition, she has ministered with Joan Hunter for the past 11 years and was ordained through the Charles and Frances Ministry.

Currently, she’s an active minister at Greater Faith Church (at 5503 Bourgeois Road in Houston) under the direction of Bishop Marcel and First Lady Delores Miles.
