Beauty for Ashes

Through Beauty for Ashes, we will demonstrate God's love by reaching out to those in genuine need.

Inspired by Isaiah 61:3, this fund will provide practical assistance to bereaved individuals and families facing financial difficulties.

Support could include emergency food assistance, essential household bills, school-related expenses, support for children who have lost parents and other verified needs.

We will offer practical support based on genuine need, without making assistance conditional upon a person's religious beliefs or willingness to share their testimony.

To give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness.
