To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.

Isaiah 61:3

Our Story

In July 2020, I spoke to 60 ladies from various addiction recovery ministries. That night, the Lord planted a seed of concern that quickly sprouted into a blossoming burden to help these women. That’s when God spoke Isaiah 61:3: to give unto them BEAUTY for ASHES... God was opening a door to offer assistance to women who needed help getting back on their feet after getting clean from substance abuse.

Finding a Place

Knowing I would need a large building to house these women, I sent out a letter to friends and family asking for prayer and financial resources. I knew the Lord would provide through His people. And HE DID! In two short months, the checking account held almost $30,000. In the meantime, a small church in our area had closed its doors. After much prayer and consideration, I consulted our Board, then offered a small bid on the property. Ashamedly, doubt crept in- ‘There is no way they will accept this offer,’ I thought. Boy, was I wrong! Two days later, the Trustees called to inform me that they were delighted to accept the offer and excited that another ministry will be used on that historic church property!
