Mary Davis Cutler

The First Gleam of Dawn Mary Davis Cutler

Mary Cutler thought she was living a wonderful life. After the struggles of her childhood, she had married her college sweetheart and moved 3,000 miles from her western roots to the east coast to start a new life. They had built their dream home and become leaders in their church and schools. Then began a series of trials that shook her world. She suffered a clinical depression, her son flunked out of college, the elder of her two daughters and her son-in-law began doing drugs and established a hippie commune before he left her to seek spiritual enlightenment in India. Then Mary received a shocking phone call concerning her daughter that caused her to cry out in desperation to God for help. That's when the miracles began! Following her remarkable and life-changing Christian conversion at age fifty, Mary Cutler began a new and exciting journey. She has served the Lord in numerous ways in the subsequent decades, such as leading many Bible study and prayer groups, and even living for a season with her husband Royal in a Christian community. She served for twelve years - including several as president - with the Albany, NY chapter of Women's Aglow. In the course of hundreds of speaking and ministry engagements, she has seen God use her unique testimony - and the related testimonies of her family - to touch many lives with His love, grace and power.
