Faith First with Alicia Bell of GraceWorks Ministries

Alicia Bell’s word for this year: Surrender.

When Alicia was promoted to her dream job of Chief Executive Officer (CEO) at GraceWorks Ministries, she was shocked to have a cancer scare at the same time. Uncomfortable ambiguity was amplified when Alicia was faced with unexpected challenges in her family.

While Alicia was blessed to have Jesus in her heart since she was young, this time required even greater trust. Alicia began to let go of her expectations, plans and very self in order to live the will of God and allow the Holy Spirit to do miraculous work.

Alicia experienced how God’s grace reaches to the innermost details of her heart and life.

In this Easter podcast, learn how God’s grace really does work.

GraceWorks’ mission is to share God’s grace, through food, shelter and support. It does this by neighbor serving neighbor. Learn more at: https://www.graceworkstn.org.

As a hospice nurse it broke Kim's heart that there were so many people poor and dying who had nowhere to go.
