Called To Serve
I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the Hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints. (Ephesians 1:18)
Our Mission is to Help Women Discover Hope & Healing in Their Everyday Lives
Journey of the Heart Ministries was created to meet the needs of women in communities throughout the United States and around the world. It was created for God to display His heart and love for His beloved.
Journey of the Heart Ministries honors women and treats them with dignity. Our comprehensive one to one mentoring program has been created to address the real, often silent needs of women, the matters of their heart that have the potential to severely impair their lives in measurable ways. We understand that when women live in hopelessness and despair it impacts the children, the family, the community and ultimately the world.
When the heart of a woman heals, it creates a ripple that transforms her, her family and the community and ultimately the world.

Our Story
The inspiration for Journey of the Heart Ministries began in 1998. In that year Mary Michel the CEO & Founder was experiencing deep personal pain and grief. In the midst of her brokenness God birthed His vision and purpose to help women become whole and for them to discover a new way of living into hope.
After a few years of research and focus groups the vision became a reality. Mary began traveling and meeting with groups of women and learned that the need was great. She learned that meeting one to one with them helps them first understand that they are not alone, and it becomes the first step into Hope. Mary learned that women deal everyday with hard life issues; abuse, neglect, divorce, addictions, depression, being a single mom, areas of great loss and serious health issues. With research, all of this information and experience, it was time to develop and establish the Hope Partner mentoring services and to create The Center of Hope for women.
God began to draw others and He captured the heart of Christy Wall, her niece and she and Mary began to seek the heart of God together in how He wanted the vision to begin. From this the mentor training was created, along with many steps leading to the development of the Center of Hope and the ministry at large..
God then began to capture the heart of those He was calling to the Board. God began to call others and began to build His team to fulfill His vision. God has called many directly to the ministry and even more in the community to support Journey of the Heart Ministries.
Journey of the Heart was incorporated in 2005 and in January of 2008 opened the Community Center of Hope in Toledo Ohio. This Center has become the model as other Center of Hope are established in communities throughout the United States and around the World.
Today, Journey of the Heart Ministries has served hundreds of women locally, women in several states and internationally. The vision God gave to Mary of women being healed and set free, has become reality.
To His glory.
