Ashley Lutz
Office Manager
Hopelessly bound by addiction and depression, Ashley felt lost and alone. Overwhelmed by her condition, she desperately cried out to God, “If you are real, help me!” The Lord heard Ashley’s cry at her very darkest moment. He radically saved and transformed her life giving her a future and a family. Since that day, Ashley has shared her powerful story of God’s amazing grace with addicts, single mothers and broken women, even bringing them into her own home while they walk through recovery. Ashley now serves as the Office Manager of Together In The Harvest and Ryan's Hope!
Kelsey Morris
Co-Founder
Kelsey Hill-Morris is very familiar with the Christian walk. Having been raised by ministers, she often heard about people's experiences with God and testimonies of how He changed their lives. Although she read the Bible, went to Bible School, knew about God, she could never truly go back to a moment when she met Jesus for herself, well, not until a night that changed her life forever...
