Her Story

From tragedy to transforming lives in 18+ countries.

In 1993, tragedy changed Susie Jennings's life. What followed has changed thousands more.

Known on Dallas streets as "The Blanket Lady," Susie's obedience to a whisper from God grew into Operation Care International — a ministry that now hosts the nation's largest Christmas party for the homeless and carries the Gospel across 18+ countries.

Her testimony is not theory. It was forged through real loss, a quiet obedience in the moments no one was watching, and a God who kept proving Himself faithful on every new mission field — from Dallas shelters to Kenyan orphanages to Filipino street corners.

Her Story in 90 Seconds

Watch what obedience looks like.

From personal tragedy to one of the most impactful homeless ministries in the country.

No, Not Me! is a story of God using a broken widow to do impossible things for the Kingdom of God. Susie not only hears from God, but immediately obeys. The activation of her faith has blessed so many of the homeless and impoverished both here in Dallas and all over the world. Susie's story also proves that God's calling comes with God's limitless power!
Dr. Robert Jeffress
Senior Pastor, First Baptist Dallas
Many people marvel, “How did you move from travesty to victory?” “How can one average person inspire people around the world to meet the spiritual and practical needs of others?” This true story gives us the answer. The Bible says, “The One who calls you is faithful, and He will do it.” The life of Susie Jennings displays how she is called — she steps out, but He indeed is doing it!

Susie Jennings' life shows what God can do through one person, even if they have experienced painful tragedy.
