The Greatness of God

Our hearts are overflowing with gratitude.

To every individual, family, church, business, volunteer, donor, sponsor, and prayer partner, thank you. Because of your generosity, compassion, and faithfulness, lives are being transformed every single day.

Together, we are providing hope to those who have felt hopeless, shelter to those without a home, encouragement to those battling addiction, and a reminder that no one is beyond the reach of God’s love and grace.

Out Of The Ashes is far more than a ministry, it is a community of people who believe in second chances, restoration, and the power of hope. None of this would be possible without you standing beside us.

Every prayer, every dollar, every hour volunteered, every donation, and every word of encouragement helps us continue breaking the chains of addiction and homelessness, one person at a time.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for believing in this mission and for believing in the people we serve. We are honored to partner with such an incredible community, and we look forward to seeing what God continues to do as we move forward together.

“Let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” Galatians 6:9

With sincere gratitude,

Five Lives Made New

What an incredible night at Faith Night at the Owls Stadium! We were blessed to witness five individuals publicly declare their faith through baptism, dedicating and rededicating their lives to the Lord Jesus Christ.

Baptism is a beautiful testimony of God’s transforming power. These are lives that have been restored, hearts that have been renewed, and people who have chosen to leave the past behind and walk forward in Christ. Watching them take this step of obedience was a powerful reminder that God is still changing lives and making all things new.

At Out of the Ashes, we are honored and humbled to be a small part of what God is doing. Seeing men and women break free from addiction, find hope, and surrender their lives to Jesus is why we do what we do.

We rejoice with these five individuals and pray that the Lord continues to strengthen, guide, and bless them as they walk in their new life with Christ.

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.”  2 Corinthians 5:17

From the Woods to God’s Faithfulness

When Tommy first came to Out of the Ashes, life looked impossible. She had been living in the woods while pregnant, facing uncertainty, fear, and homelessness. Yet even in those darkest moments, God never stopped watching over her.

During her pregnancy, she was struck by a vehicle while riding a bicycle. What could have been a tragedy became another testimony of God’s protection. Later, she faced another life-threatening trial when she developed an intestinal blockage that required emergency surgery while still pregnant. Through every obstacle, the Lord kept both mother and baby in His loving hands.

Today, she and her precious baby boy are safe at Out of the Ashes. She is experiencing not only physical healing but spiritual restoration. She is learning to put Jesus first, growing in her faith each day, and discovering the hope that only Christ can give.

Her story reminds us that God specializes in restoring what the world has given up on. He brings beauty from ashes, hope from despair, and purpose from pain. What once looked like a hopeless future has become a testimony of God’s grace, mercy, and unfailing love.

We believe this is only the beginning. The Lord has a beautiful future for this mother and her son. As they continue to walk with Him, we know He will lead them, provide for them, and use their lives to encourage others that no situation is beyond His reach.

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans for peace and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.” Jeremiah 29:11

At Out of the Ashes, we are honored to walk alongside individuals and families as they encounter the transforming power of Jesus Christ. This testimony is a reminder that no one is too far gone, no circumstance is too broken, and no life is beyond God’s ability to restore.

Congratulations, Matt & Casey Green!

On July 11, 2026, Out of the Ashes had the incredible honor of celebrating our very first wedding. It was a beautiful and joy-filled day as Pastor Pat Chamberlain officiated the marriage of Matt and Casey Green.

We are so grateful to everyone who came out to celebrate, love, and support them as they began this new chapter together. Your presence made their special day even more meaningful.

Matt and Casey, we pray that God richly blesses your covenant. May your marriage be firmly rooted in Christ, filled with His love, grace, peace, and faithfulness. May He strengthen you through every season, guide your steps, and use your union as a testimony of His goodness for many years to come.

“Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”  Mark 10:9

Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Green! May the Lord bless your union abundantly.

Before coming to Out of the Ashes, Casey and Jimmy’s lives were marked by brokenness, uncertainty, and hardship. But God had a greater plan for their story. As they surrendered their lives to Christ and committed themselves to His path, He began restoring what once seemed lost.

Today, we celebrate the incredible faithfulness of God. Casey and Jimmy recently entered into the covenant of marriage, beginning a new chapter built on Christ as their foundation. God has blessed them with a brand-new vehicle, a home of their own, and, most importantly, the restoration of their relationship with their children. What once seemed impossible has become a beautiful testimony of God’s redeeming power.

Their journey reminds us that God is still in the business of restoring lives, rebuilding families, and making all things new. Where there was once despair, there is now hope. Where there was once brokenness, there is now healing. Where there was once loss, there is now abundant blessing.

At Out of the Ashes, we are honored to have walked alongside Casey and Jimmy as they pursued recovery and discipleship. Their story is living proof that when we put Christ first, He is faithful to restore, provide, and lead us into the abundant life He has promised.

“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I have come that they may have life, and have it abundantly.”  John 10:10

“I will restore to you the years that the locust has eaten.”  Joel 2:25

To God be all the glory for what He has done and continues to do in Casey and Jimmy’s lives. May the Lord continue to bless their marriage, strengthen their family, and use their testimony to inspire others to trust that no one is beyond the reach of God’s restoring grace.
