Our ministry vision is comprehensive and
includes the following:
† Our goal
is to provide safe, transitional shelters, where women and
their children are able to live together in a loving, stable
Christian environment. All services and material needs will
be given without any charge during their six-month residency.
Basic needs such as housing, daily meals, clothing, infant
needs, transportation, and subsidized child care will be provided,
as well as educational and vocational assistance. Having these
needs met will allow women the opportunity to save the money
necessary to live independently at the end of their stay.
Their commitment to complete our 3-phase accountability program
will ensure they obtain the skills necessary to begin a new
life, free from violence.
† Our goal
is to facilitate the healing and restoration of families whenever
it is safe, sane, and sensible to do so. We will never endanger
a woman's safety for the sake of reconciliation. Her safety,
and the safety of her children, will always be our primary
concern.
† Our goal
is to be used of God to facilitate awareness of domestic violence,
especially within the Christian communities, to understand
its causes and to discover its cure.
† Our goal
is to share the knowledge and love of Jesus Christ, as He
is Biblically known, with victims of domestic violence, their
children and the community at large. We seek to introduce
abused women to the love of Jesus Christ, the power of Jesus
Christ to heal and change their lives, and to introduce them
to the good and perfect purposes God has for their lives.
"For I am not ashamed of the gospel
of Christ; for it is the power of God
unto salvation to everyone that believes…"
Romans 1:16-17
"…LORD, who is like Thee, who
delivers the afflicted from him who is too strong for him,
and the afflicted and the needy from him who robs him?"
Psalms 35:10
"This is pure and undefiled religion
in the sight of our God and Father,
to visit orphans and widows in their distress…"
James 1:27
"...Who comforts us in all our affliction
so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction
with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by
God."
I Corinthians 1:4
"Deliver those who are being taken
away to death,
and those who are staggering to slaughter, oh hold them back.
If you say, 'See, we did not know this', does He not consider
it who weighs the hearts? And does He not know it who keeps
your soul?
And will He not render to man according to his work?"
Proverbs 24:11-12
