Tina, there is a private online group on facebook: Broken But Beautiful. If you go to the Broken AND Beautiful site & ask Kathleen if you can join the private Broken BUT Beautiful group, she’ll include you. I like that it is private so outsiders can’t see what we post 🙂

In reply to Tina.

I am not aware of an online group. We train those that want to start a support group at our Partners in the Journey. We have a training coming up March 30-31, 2012. For more information go to https://www.focusministries1.org/training/partners-journey or contact FocusSup@focusministries1.org. We can talk further with you.

I am trying to find at least an online group. Do you know of any? How do I get started on beginning a support group in my area?

I understand completely how you feel. God has called me to help women who have experienced sexual abuse or sexual assault. This draw to ministry started for me when I couldn’t find a support group but knew others with the same need. After leading groups for three years, I am starting to write articles and even a Bible study. God has an amazing way of turning our lives right-side out!

Peggy, I appreciate your post. I’m sorry you’ve gone through so much. Your story gives me hope that God truly does continue to heal & hopefully I will feel more healed in the future as you do. What has been the most healing to me in this journey has been other women (like you) who’ve made it farther along than me & have reached out to encourage us.

I escaped an abusive husband 10 yrs ago. As a Christian, I couldn’t face a divorce. But he was put in jail, & was so angry about it, he filed for a divorce when he got out. Due to a restraining order, I have never seen him again. I praise the Lord my God for His safety & protection. He is truly the Husband to the Husbandless. He has helped me heal. It is as though someone else endured the 22 years of fear. I have peace in Him.

I’m sorry you haven’t found a Support Group in your area. What part of the country do you live? I drive 3 hours round trip once a week to get to a Christian Support Group in Seattle. I heard about it on the Christian Radio Station through Family Life Today with Dennis Rainey. The group is run by http://www.NWFamilylife.org

You might not be a therapist, or counselor but I would rather be counseled through Gods love and understanding, for he is the all powerful God and is the Creator of all. Without God there wouldn’t be any therapist, or counselors. You have street experience that’s make you very qualified because you know just what it feels like and are best at identify with their needs. Just follow your heart and God will do the rest. God Bless You
