Niki has lived in the Upper Cumberland since 1987. First moving to Sparta then Cookeville. She is originally from San Diego California. She moved to TN in hopes of giving her children a better life. During this time, she battled a 28 year addiction and was not able to gain her sobriety until 1999 when she was introduced to Jesus at the Cookeville Rescue Mission. Ms Payne quickly learned the value of helping others walk, often run out of the very darkness she lived in. Niki has been working for over 20 years assisting others to find their own recovery and introducing them to Jesus through her actions. She is trained in many areas of recovery and mental health. Program development/work is a gifting she excels in. Niki lives in Monterey TN with her husband Jon and grandson Quincye. 

Kendra is an overcomer of years of severe depression and addiction. She spent many years battling thoughts and attempts of suicide, feeling totally helpless and completely hopeless, which she tried to numb with the use of drugs. She found recovery and reconnected with Jesus in 2019 when her lawyer sent her to a faith-based treatment center. There she discovered her calling and purpose. After finding the hope and peace that can only be found in Christ, sobriety and joy seemed to come easy. That is something she feels the need to share with anyone who will listen. She plans to spend the rest of her life sharing this hope with anyone who is struggling with addiction or mental health. Kendra is a living example that there is life after the darkness of addiction and depression and that God loves to give us life abundantly!

She started attending Celebrate Recovery to gain a better understanding on how to make Jesus the center of her recovery. After about a year clean Jessica started sponsoring others and chaired multiple CR and NM meetings.
