Erika Seamayer-Williamson was a single mom for over sixteen years. Even though she and her daughter’s father had been divorced eight years, she endured many challenges with two separate court battles in a five year period. This crisis in her life led her to a strong relationship with God.  Desperate to live a "normal" life with her daughter, they attended and volunteered at their beloved church in Downtown Dallas. “This is what got us through”, Erika said. Fast forward to marrying in 2011. Erika married her 5th grade boyfriend! She moved from Spearfish, South Dakota to her home state of Texas. It was a tough transition. In 2009, Erika had moved to South Dakota and finally discovered a peaceful life that she had longed for. She loved her Mountain Life! She traveled back-and-forth between Texas and South Dakota to serve her Permanent Makeup Clients. While staying at a friend’s Bed & Breakfast, she found a small book,"The Prayer of Jabez" by Bruce Wilkinson. As she began reading and  praying the prayer from Chronicles 4:20, her ministry began. After years of seeking God's will for her life, the picture was finally becoming clear.  At this time, she also discovered her spiritual gifts exhortation, which is lifting and building up others in the spirit of discernment,   She began ministering 2 to 3 times per week then 4 to 5 and so on. In 2016, Erika founded Amazing Grace Retreats, in the Black Hills of South Dakota. She wanted to create a safe place for women to relax, forgive, discover, heal, and fellowship with like-minded women. Her mission is to help women find clarity, overcome struggles, and discover their true calling in life.

In 2020, she started Amazing Grace Talk, a Podcast. Erika interviews those who have experienced God’s Amazing Grace, have overcome struggles, traumas, miraculous healings, as well as stories of success despite challenges.  Her desire is to help encourage others with these amazing stories and through her reviews she has done just that. 🥰

In 2022, Erika met ShelleyJane and a ministry connection was immediately formed. Together they created Amazing Grace Ministries to “house” all the branches that were now being released under the ministry. With both of their extensive backgrounds, they have added Freedom Ministries, Lifestyle Coaching, Transformation Courses, and the Amazing Grace Retreat-Lifestyle Membership! This will be an exclusive, inner circle to partner together through the transformation God has for all of us. Erika and ShelleyJane are also very excited to introduce Amazing Grace Missions in the near future. We will be ministering to Single Parents and abused Women and Children. We are humbled and thrilled to partner with God and His will on the earth.🌍
