Come to the Beach March 1-3, 2024
You are wanted. Needed. Loved and adored. You are a daughter of the King, a beautiful reflection of His grace and truth. If those words are difficult for you to believe, we hope you will come to Beauty for Ashes 2024, March 1-3.
Held at the stunning Shell Island Resort in Wrightsville Beach, NC, this women’s retreat is filled with worship, the Word, prayer, and joy. If you need to laugh or cry, fill up, or deposit the burdens you’ve been carrying, we invite you to come. It’s been eight years since the first BFA retreat, and God has never disappointed. He always shows up. It’s always a weekend of healing, wholeness, connections, and growth.
Beautiful Reflection
This year’s theme is “Beautiful Reflection: Finding Your Identity in Jesus.” When we look in the mirror, we may see our faults, but God’s mirror reflects how God sees us. Shatter that old mirror and take a step of faith. Give Him the entire weekend and come expecting to meet a new friend, experience powerful worship, find rest and healing, and discover your shiny new reflection.

Her greatest passion is to help women unlock the life-changing power in the Bible for themselves.

Kalos Ministries
Debbie Hufham is the visionary of Kalos women’s ministries. She has a desire to show women they can trust God. A message about obedience is not something most people run to hear, but her motto is: “faith is the key; obedience opens the door.” Debbie invites you through the door where you can find peace, hope and trust in Jesus. Her intentional speech and hilarious stories are loved by those who hear her messages.
Beauty for Ashes womens retreats
Venus Schrader spent years in pursuit of emotional healing from traumatic events of her childhood. On the brink of throwing in the towel on life and God, she received the revelation that she was Daddy’s Girl. This opened the door to a process of healing that has forever changed her life. Beauty for Ashes womens retreats was birthed from her desire to see other women set free. She has lead women’s bible study, taught Sunday school, and she has also ministered to homeless run away teens, single moms and caregivers.
