MISSION

To bring Hope to those who find themselves standing in Ashes trusting that God will make them Beautiful.

VISION

TO PROVIDE THOSE WHO ARE EXPERIENCING HOPELESSNESS AND DESPAIR HOPE AND HEALING THROUGH DISCONNECTION FROM THE WORLD, RECONNECTION TO JESUS, AND CONNECTION WITH OTHERS AT BAM RETREATS AND WORKSHOPS. 

WHAT WE DO

Beautiful Ashes Ministries exists to help women who feel “stuck” find freedom and renewal in Christ.

  • “Stuck” describes a place of circumstantial hopelessness when life’s challenges leave women needing space for introspection and solitude with Jesus.
  • “Unstuck” means being transformed by the renewing of the mind (Romans 12:2), made possible by removing worldly distractions that hinder intimacy with Jesus. This renewal is cultivated through meditation on Scripture, journaling, prayer walks, and other practices that draw women closer to Christ: the true source of healing and hope.

HOW WE DO IT

We provide this pathway to transformation through intimate, time-sensitive retreats located just outside DFW in Mineral Wells, TX, known as the wellness capital of Texas.

At our retreats, women:

  • Unplug from the world (limited cell service)
  • Reconnect with Jesus (quiet time, breakout sessions, praise & worship, bonfires, chef-prepared meals)
  • Build Community (guided sessions, activities, alumni network)
  • Experience Healing (through transparency, accountability, and encouragement)

Our ministry is sustained by the time, treasures, and talents of our founders, which means every dollar donated goes directly to our mission not to overhead. Each attendee is fully sponsored through the generosity of alumni, donors, and supporters impacted by the work of Beautiful Ashes.

As donations grow beyond the cost of sponsoring participants, we will expand our offerings like hosting longer weekend retreats and adding more gatherings throughout the year so more women can encounter the freedom and healing found in Jesus.

HOW WE MEASURE SUCCESS

We witness measurable transformation in the lives of our attendees and growing alumni community. Women experience restored relationships, or the strength to walk away from unhealthy ones, through the Holy Spirit’s leading. We celebrate seeing them move from brokenness into purpose, as the Lord works in and through Beautiful Ashes Ministries.

HOW WE SPREAD AWARENESS

Throughout the year, we host local workshops on relevant topics led by:

  • Emily Fadool, LPC-S – Clinical Supervisor
  • Jayme Dixon – Bible Teacher
  • Partnering ministries and faith leaders
