Who We Are
Beauty from Ashes is a charity supporting the work of Jennifer Rees Larcombe.
Its aim is to encourage people whose lives have been distorted or broken through loss and trauma towards faith in, and dependence on, Christ.
Jennifer and her colleagues are profoundly convinced that God mends bruised and broken lives today and they are committed to being vessels that He uses in His work of restoration.
The name comes from a passage in the book of Isaiah, where God speaks of hope and restoration for His trusting people. The Beauty from Ashes team believes that these promises are just as relevant today to those whose lives have been twisted or torn by adversity.
What we do
For an overview of our ministry, please see the ministry page.
Prayer Support
There is a group that intercedes for prayer requests received, telephone prayer chains, and a weekly prayer bulletin that is dispatched every Wednesday to a team of committed intercessors. For more information please see the support page.
Where we are
The team's base is a home - a bungalow with extensive gardens in quiet countryside in the heart of Kent in the South East of England.
Additionally, Beauty from Ashes also runs its own regular healing days, and offers private appointments for prayer and counseling.
The team
Jennifer Rees Larcombe has a fruitful and long-established prayer, healing, speaking and writing ministry. After becoming seriously ill in 1982 with a virus that confined her with constant pain to a wheelchair for eight years, she was healed through the prayer of a new Christian at a meeting at which she was speaking. She has also experienced a broken marriage. Since then the Lord has focused her ministry on helping people adjust to pain, loss and trauma.
She works in association with Dr Jenny Brown MB BS a London GP who - after her own healing from cancer - believes that prayer and medicine can work together. She is involved with Jennifer at healing services, seminars and quiet days.
Jenny Cooper offers Art therapy, Prayer Painting and other creative ways of expressing worship and deep emotions on a one to one basis or in group sessions.
They are supported by a large prayer ministry team of other thirty people who work at Beauty From Ashes. They have all experienced major loss and bereavement, but have survived and long to share with others the comfort they themselves received. They have all undergone training but their greatest qualification is that they know from experience what grief feels like!
