Our Story
Journey of the Heart Ministries was inspired by the personal journey of Mary Michel, who, in 1998, faced profound grief and pain. This experience ignited a vision to help women find wholeness and hope. After years of research and community engagement, the organization was founded in 2005, culminating in the opening of the first Community Center of Hope in Toledo, Ohio, in 2008. Since then, it has been a beacon of hope for hundreds of women, both locally and internationally.
