“A passion for one-another ministry is the foundation for care. Bless you, friend, for your heart of compassion! We’re here to equip you. With the complexity of abuse, it is crucial to gain a robust understanding of God’s view of oppression as well as the damage done to people who live in it.

What would my life be like if I had avoided strangulation? Perhaps uncompromised physical mobility. What would the young me have been like if I had not been under such power and coercion? What does loss of freedom do? I can’t help but think that my life could have been vastly different had a caring AND equipped person identified my abusive situation, helped me navigate toward an escape, and walked me through the restoration process.

Unfortunately, I am not the only one whose life has been altered by domestic violence. Others are experiencing atrocities like mine. But what kind of an impact could a caring and well-equipped person make? I have been helped by the healing principles provided by Help[H]er, and my heart is on a path of restoration through many of the Help[H]er resources. I, like you, want to help others. Let’s make an impact together.”
