Joining the Army instead of listening to God

When Shante Roseboro was 22, God told her to open a home for women in need. She ignored His words and decided to go into the U.S. Army.

She wasn't happy in the Army.

But God is persistent. Six years later, Roseboro started the New Beginnings Maternity/Transitional Home for Women outside of Morganton, N.C.

According to the Charlotte Observer, the home is a long-term facility for women and children in need of emergency or transitional housing due to substance abuse, unplanned pregnancy or other circumstances.

Roseboro has worked for the past two years as New Beginnings' executive director without a salary in order to ensure the home's success.
