Our Story
The ministry exists to reveal the heart of Jesus to the world—through community, discipleship, service, and the simple, sacred act of being available. Under her leadership, Eight48 continues to grow in both reach and impact, reminding women everywhere that healing begins with faith, that identity is found in Christ, and that even the smallest yes can change everything.
Ashley Renee carries a deep conviction that the world doesn't just need more programs, events, church buildings, pupils —it needs people who are willing to say yes to God and live out the Gospel with radical love, unwavering truth, and relentless availability. Her leadership reflects that belief: Spirit-led, deeply compassionate, and fiercely committed to helping people rise into their God-given identity.
Under her guidance, Eight48 has become more than a ministry. It's a boundary-less movement—one that reaches women and their family across all backgrounds, ages, and stories, drawing them into authentic community and sending them out with the heart of Jesus. Every gathering, every baptism, every moment of healing is a testament to how God can multiply just one surrendered “yes”.
Meet Our Founder
Ashley Renee is the Founder of Eight48 Ministries, a ministry born from an unwavering “yes” to God. After moving to San Diego with her family, Ashley felt a persistent nudge from God urging her start a Bible study. She thought it might be a small way to find friendship in a new city—but God had so much more in mind.
What began as a small Bible study on the beach quickly revealed itself to be the foundation of something far more powerful: a ministry anchored in healing, hope, and identity found in Jesus Christ. Every step, every gathering, and every brave “yes” became a building block for something greater. Eight48 Ministries, named by God after Luke 8:48, captures beautifully the heart of Jesus while also very boldly and courageously reminding us of our true identity, Daughter of the most High King.
Ashley Renee see’s Eight48 as the ultimate permission to personally experience life abundantly through Jesus Christ. She defines this as “freedom” and leads with an expectant heart that men, women, and children all over the world will have access to this, learn about and take hold of this freedom. She leads with her heart rooted in radical love, authenticity, and the truth of Jesus.
Yes, Jesus Loves You!
