After Hours Ministry was started in 2007 and became an approved 501c3 in 2008. The founders of After Hours Ministry are two individuals who had left The Game. One came out of a background of heroin and cocaine addiction, prostituting in order to support her drug habit. In some of her darkest times, she attempted suicide numerous times and eventually ended up on Skid Row in downtown Los Angeles. But God delivered her and since then, she hasn’t stopped reaching out to people that share her similar past of drug addiction and darkness.

One of the people that God touched during one of her outreaches was a man; he had a history of working as a runner (for a pimp) and had been arrested for prostitution… but he too was transformed by God’s grace. Together, it was their desire to help people who were stuck in a similar lifestyle: sexual bondage, drug addiction, criminal activity, addiction to money or pornography, those in gangs, pimping, prostituting (or any other type of bondage) to be delivered and set free by the power of Jesus Christ.

In 2010, the founders asked Jen Cecil and Julia Speck Attalla to prayerfully consider taking over the ministry. Jen and Julia ran After Hours Ministry for 10 years until Kali Spicer became the Executive Director in 2020. Mari Clark took over in 2022, and was serving as Interim Director until 2023. Tracy Speers took over the ministry in 2023 and is the current President and Executive Director of After Hours Ministry.
