I am little wife, except I don’t have a big man. I’m currently in the process of divorce. I have an order of protection for myself and my children. My husband has manipulated church leaders and some members. My pastor is wishy washy and doesn’t want to get his hands dirty. He warned me that my husband could lose his job if I reported him. I finally did after twenty years of abuse. My husband now lives with the head of the deacons. The only reason I have stayed is because my 15 year old son is faithful to the youth group. Right now it is his life line, as he refuses counseling. I would like to speak with someone personally about this matter.

Here at FOCUS Ministries, we believe you. We will help you through prayer, resources and referrals as well as counseling. God bless you.
