Beauty for Ashes is a vision God birthed in her heart to bring clarity & healing into his daughters. He showed her little girls need affirmations, acceptance and affection from their father’s growing up. When those three areas are lacking, girls will fill the unmet need in unhealthy ways as they grow up. God showed her these are the three areas he wanted to pour into his daughters. Only God can heal the unmet needs we have.
Through Beauty for Ashes Annette taught on various topics including those three areas and rejection, bitterness, codependency etc… many people were healed by God through this ministry. She has a vision of training others to lead groups of beauty for ashes worldwide.
