Tori Shaw is a homeschool mom, author, and director of Not Forgotten Ministries. She married her high
school sweetheart, Bryan, and they live in North Carolina with their four young children. Through Tori’s
busy day to day life, she desires to reflect the love of Christ in all that she does.
At sixteen years old, Tori discovered she was pregnant. In a rushed attempt to hide the pregnancy, Tori
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 Tori 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, in Winston Salem, NC was born through her
willingness to shed light on the topic of abortion and expose it for what it really is.
Tori 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, Tori hopes to touch the lives of many post-abortive men and women,
encouraging them to trust God with their secrets.
Tori 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.
TRAVELS FROM N.CAROLINA
Tori Shaw spoke at our 2020 Women's Conference. Her testimony was honest and heart wrenching. God
is using her in a mighty way as she tells her story. God's grace and faithfulness are evident. Our ladies
were touched by her message.

It's not easy to relatably and powerfully communicate the darkness of abortion to a diverse group of
people ranging from middle school to middle-aged, but Tori did just that when sharing with our church
both during a Sunday evening service and a Wednesday Student Ministry meeting. Tori's message
helped our teens and adults all more fully appreciate both the tragedy of abortion and the
incredible power of Jesus to restore and heal even the deepest spiritual wounds. I'm so thankful that
through Tori, God empowered many of our teens and adults to be advocates for life!
-- Barrett Holland, Campus Pastor, REVO Church, NC
Tori stirred our hearts as she shared her story with us. Her transparency was a breath of fresh air and will
no doubt open the avenue for others to start conversations that will bring healing. Our congregation was
inspired by her joy and optimism in helping those who have walked familiar roads as hers. We look
forward to partnering with her for years to come!
