No one escapes life unscathed by loss.  While hurt and sorrow are normal reactions to tragedy, they do not have to be the final word in our lives.  Because of God’s redemptive and restorative nature we see loss as an opportunity for growth, change and even victory to take place.  Our desire is to encourage you to address the pain you find in life’s journey and to see God, who is capable of taking the wounds that threaten to destroy you and making them into something beautiful.

Grace and Hope Ministries was founded in July 2009 following the heartbreaking murder of Cindy Winters’ husband Fred.  Our mission is to help others discover God’s grace through a personal relationship with Jesus and find lasting hope regardless of whatever tragedy or circumstance experienced in life.

On this website you will find a combination of resources, devotionals, reflections and other materials designed to support you.  We pray that above all else you will sense the concern and care we have for you and especially that God has not left you alone.
