    #GivingTuesdayCLT

     

    #GivingTuesday is an opportunity for people around the world to stand together in unity to inspire generosity.

  • MISSION

    We provide nationwide advocacy, education, and support to victims, survivors, the faith community, organizations, and businesses invested in expanding their knowledge of the dynamics of intimate partner violence.

    VISION 

     

    To eradicate domestic violence and create a world where all women are safe and respected.

    HISTORY

    In 2003, Rev. Marguerite Lee wanted to provide help and resources for women affected by domestic violence. Being a survivor herself, Rev. Lee wanted to use her experiences and her platform and influence as a clergy member to help the women, their families, and the faith community expand their knowledge of intimate partner violence dynamics. Beauty for Ashes Ministry started as a domestic violence program at her local church. Led by a passion for hurting people and the unction of the Holy Spirit, Beauty for Ashes Ministry became incorporated by the state in 2006. By 2007, Beauty for Ashes Ministry, Inc. attained its non-profit status.

    November

     

    Philippians 4:19 – “And God will meet all of your needs according to his riches in Christ Jesus."

     

    "Do not be discouraged by the difficulty of keeping your focus on God", from the book Jesus Calling.

     

    November is our Thanksgiving Month; we at Beauty for Ashes Ministry Inc. give thanks to our God for allowing us to serve the Charlotte community by providing access to faith-based resources and support for domestic violence survivors. Beauty for Ashes Ministry, Inc. is a non-profit 501© faith-based Christian organization devoted to preventing and eradicating domestic violence and promoting healthy, holistic relationships. The organization is based on the principles of Isaiah 61:1-4 and John 10:10.

     

    As we celebrate Thanksgiving on Thursday, November 28, 2024, we pray that our neighbors will be safe and free from all hurt, harm, and danger on this very special day and will be aware of God’s Presence continually, knowing that He will never leave you or forsake you. Don’t let feelings of failure weigh you down. Instead, try to see yourself as God sees you. Communicate with God on a daily basis. This will truly set you FREE. Note your progress as you trust in God. Each time you plow your way through massive distractions to communicate with God, you achieve a victory. Rejoice in these tiny triumphs, and they will increasingly light up your days.

     

    Have a blessed Thanksgiving! Well Wishes from Beauty for Ashes Ministry, Inc.
