Our Impact
April 2016 our Founder’s book, Journey to Heal, was released with a simple prayer—that women carrying the deep wounds of childhood sexual abuse would discover lasting hope through Jesus Christ. What God has done since then has exceeded anything we imagined.
Through the Journey to Heal book, our free JTH programs and ministry partnerships, and the faithful generosity of friends like you, thousands of women locally and around the world have found community, healing, and hope over the past decade.

Transformation & Impact
Through the caring community that has formed through our programs we have seen profound healing and transformation take place in the lives of many of our participants. Survivors have come to understand that the abuse they endured was not their fault, that they are deeply loved by God, and that healing is a process they don't have to go through alone. This understanding has alleviated anxiety, anger, and shame that has held participants back from moving forward in their faith, daily life, and relationships.
We've seen women go from coping with their pain, by means of various addictions or self-harm, to entrusting their healing to God instead. We've watched as women, who have isolated themselves for years out of shame, authentically connect in healthy community with others. Many participants have found their voice through our programs, and have begun to empower other survivors to heal. Some of these participants include our volunteers, group leaders, mentors, and board members. Some of them include women serving their community in rehab centers, churches, schools, prisons, or ministries/nonprofits of their own.
The greatest transformation we see in our participants is when they embrace the fact that they are not defined by their circumstances of abuse, but rather who they are as a child of God. The impact is profound and we have no doubt that the ripple effect will reach into future generations!
