About Grief to Grace Ministries
Jesus said in James 1:27 that pure and undefiled religion before God the Father is to care for orphans and widows in their misfortune. The Grief to Grace Ministry was founded by a widow and servant of Christ to practice this pure and undefiled religion. The Ministry provides resources, counseling, and empowerment programs to widows and children in rural communities in Nigeria. It is the aim of the Ministry to give these women and children a foundation of Christ on which to build their faith, and a more tangible foundation on which to build their futures.
