Beauty for Ashes is born from my own experiences with great hurt and trials. God has brought me victoriously through some unthinkable circumstances, and has called me to share hope with others. We all have hurts, but we don't have to let them destroy us. God wants us to have a crown of beauty for ashes. (Isaiah 61:1-3) Together, we can discover how to receive healing through God's Word and with the support of each other. Credentials: I am a licensed pastor with the call on my life to teach and offer support to others going through trials. I oversaw a recovery program for 8 years and a was the director/founder of a ministry that was all about changing lives. We also had a transitional living facility for women teaching them basic life skills and how to overcome their past. I pray you find hope and restoration through this ministry. Linda
