We are overjoyed to share a beautiful update from our Grace Family Love community. This season has been especially meaningful as we celebrate Ash, one of our Grace Family Love graduates, and her recent wedding to her husband, Jessie, in San Diego. It is hard to put into words the gratitude we feel as we reflect on her journey and all that God has done.
Before coming to Grace Family Love, Ash did not know Jesus. She came as a skeptic, not believing that life or Jesus had anything good to offer her. She carried doubt, disappointment, and guarded hope, unsure if real love or lasting change was even possible. Through consistent love, patience, prayer, and genuine support from this community, Ash slowly began to encounter Jesus in a real and personal way. What started in skepticism was met with unwavering compassion, and over time her heart was softened by grace. Step by step, she experienced His healing, His faithfulness, and His unconditional love. A life once marked by doubt began to be transformed by hope and truth.
One of the most incredible parts of this story is that this transformation did not stop with Ash. As her faith grew, it overflowed into her relationship with Jessie. Through Ash’s testimony, her changed life, and the steady presence of Christ in her daily walk, Jessie also came to know Jesus. Watching God work in both of their hearts has been a powerful reminder that love lived out consistently can open doors that words alone never could.
Their wedding in San Diego was not just a celebration of marriage, but a celebration of redemption, restoration, and new life. It stood as a beautiful testimony to how far they have come and to their shared decision to build a marriage rooted in faith, love, and Christ at the center.
We are deeply grateful for the privilege of walking alongside Ash on her journey and witnessing the goodness of God through her story. Thank you to everyone who prayed, showed up, loved faithfully, and invested in her life along the way. This is the heart of Grace Family Love, lives transformed through consistent love and the power of Jesus. We celebrate Ash and Jessie with full hearts and look forward to all that God has in store for their future together.
