ZIMMERMAN, JERYL & BETHANY

Bethany has a heart to see women of all ages — especially those delivered from human trafficking and sexual exploitation — equipped spiritually, emotionally, physically, and be transformed by the Gospel. She oversees a ministry, Beauty for Ashes Philippines, which focuses on reaching out to those trapped in prostitution on the streets. The team hosts Bible Studies with their families and serves as a connection to community and livelihood development. Bethany is also the Mentor Program Director at Hope Inspire Love based in Lancaster, PA where she equips women to mentor and walk alongside survivors ages 13-30.  Hope Inspire Love also has a wide range of community involvement from educating the church, healthcare workers, students and families about Human Trafficking while also raising awareness at local markets with products made by survivors, including coffee roasted locally to help survivors build their resumes.   Jeryl has a heart for at-risk youth and serves as a chaplain in a local youth correctional facility. Both continue to travel to Queens, NY to serve a church and to encourage the church body.
