Meet Daphne Lang
I am honored to serve as a board member of Beauty in Our Brokenness, a ministry that became part of my own healing journey. Through the encouragement, faith, and community I found there, my passion has grown for helping others discover healing, freedom, and their true worth in Christ. With experience as an educator, mother, and advocate for foster adoptive families, as well as personal experiences with trauma, abuse, loss, and restoration, I bring compassion and understanding to those walking through difficult seasons.
Meet Beverly Reid
Like many women, I have walked through painful experiences and spent years searching for healing and peace. Through different forms of support and recovery, I made progress, but God led me to Beauty in Our Brokenness at a time when I still needed deeper hope and restoration. Leah’s ministry has been a light in my journey—offering encouragement, truth, and a reminder that healing is possible. I’m grateful to now support a ministry that helps women feel seen, valued, and never alone in their healing journey.
“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound; to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn; to grant to those who mourn in Zion— to give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit; that they may be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he may be glorified.”
Isaiah 61:1-3 ESV
