Join the Mission

Beauty for Ashes Ministry provides a Christ centered community that equips prisoners for their restored role in society through mentoring, practical teachings, and spiritual disciplines. 
Since the beginning, Beauty for Ashes Ministry has followed their vision to reduce recidivism by providing Christ centered programs that prepare offenders for reentry by focusing on: 
  • Inner healing of past wounds
  • Discipleship through the study of God's word
  • Life skills and mentoring
  • Successful home plans that include a community of support
The ministry has built strong relationships with numerous organizations and individuals that work with the offenders once they return home.

Celebrating a life redeemed!

This year marks a first for our ministry with the hiring of a Beauty for Ashes Reentry graduate as our Program Manager for Beauty for Ashes Reentry in Chillicothe Correctional Center.  Shelena Larkin was in our very first group when Beauty for Ashes Reentry was established in 2011 in the Vandalia, MO women prison. Shelena says she most looks forward to returning the hope she was given through Beauty for Ashes.  She loves seeing hope in the eyes of the women when they understand that they don’t have to stay in the darkness of their past. Shelena is a daily testimony to that truth.  Watch this video to hear more of Shelena's story of redemption and transformation.
