About the Founders
Steve and Holly founded Tin Man Ministries in 2012. Their ministry is one that reaches out to women to bring healing and wholeness through the power and love of Jesus Christ.
This ministry's approach is two pronged: Prevention and Restorative. The preventative aspect is implemented through raising awareness, training, and changing public policy. The restorative aspect is implemented through literature, via books, newspapers, blogs, a survivor healing curriculum; and providing safe and loving after-care via our Adopting Daughters program, based on the Safe Families Model. Using this model, women are received by individual families and treated as daughters. It is within this warm and safe environment that they receive healing and wholeness.
The ministry's branch Grace n Glory is a publishing outreach in which books and tracts are used to heal, inspire and grow others in their faith in Jesus Christ. Holly is the author of six faith-based books, published via Grace n Glory publishing, and sold at the TMM store and on Amazon. Three of her books are healing tools for survivors of sexual abuse, one of which is her life story. The remaining three books help foster growth in the Christian walk.
Holly is also the creator of a curriculum called “Healing Hearts” which leads female survivors of abuse through the healing process via an 8-week workshop.
The Ottens are the proud parents of six children and reside in Rhode Island. They enjoy hiking, bicycling and kayaking in their free time.

"The thief comes to steal, kill and destroy, but I have come that they may have life
and have it to the fullest." John 10:10.
and have it to the fullest." John 10:10.
This Bible quotation is Holly's favorite life verse. She lives to take back everything that the enemy has taken from her, and strives to live life to the fullest. Her desire is to encourage others to do the same. Holly was a victim of neglect and sexual abuse as a child. In her late teens she opened her heart to the One who is love, and became healed and whole. Her desire is to take the bad that she experienced and turn it into good by helping other victims of sexual abuse, including those exploited by the sex trafficking trade. She desires to see victims become victorious survivors.
