Jill Bryant’s mother decided in 1985 that she would leave her child for adoption to provide her the best life possible. She found a new home with Tom and Jean Ralls who were a Christian family from Missouri. She said it would be hard as the devil would make her think she was abandoned at times. She’d grow up to attend Central Bible College and meet her husband Jeffrey through a blind date in 2006. They would become youth ministers and worked their way to lead ministers at First Assembly of God in Arkansas.
