Empowerment Ministries, Inc.
Amazing Grace
Our mission is to promote and foster hope among the under-privileged population. We challenge and empower people to jump-start their lives and reach for greatness.
Who are we? We try to be an example of how people of faith can work together despite any, and all, differences to impact the lives of those who may be homeless or less fortunate.
Our Ministry was birthed from the biblical teaching of the Great Commandment and is modeled in the earthly ministry and teachings of Jesus Christ. We assist the homeless regardless of their faith and minister in the environment in which they reside, the street. We distribute provisions such as food, clothing and spiritual guidance.
We are intentional about spending time with and ministering to individuals who may be overlooked or marginalized and experiencing poverty, depression and hunger.
​
We ask God for his strength, presence and guidance in 2026. Please help us reach more people by making a donation by clicking the donate button, as we get no corporate or government money.
Additionally, I would like to thank all the individuals who have helped our ministry with their time, and donations, as we rely solely on these love offerings.
​
As always, thank you for your generosity and compassion.
​
With much love and gratitude,
​

What people are saying :
​
"I've been on the receiving side of Graciela's tireless efforts to bring a sense of worth and joy to the many underprivileged and rather downtrodden citizenry of southwestern Ohio. I was particularly impressed with a luncheon and entertainment event she held for a large homeless shelter. The food was bountiful, the music enriching and the message inspiring. She also loves to bring entertainment in the form of puppets to patients at hospitals, and comedy workshops to local jails and prisons. If only more were of her giving nature."

"Ms. Grace, I would like to thank God for your encouragement & faith building. Your presence always brightens such the gloomy place in which I temporarily stay. May God continue to work through you."
