Some experiences in life are so painful, they cause deep and lasting suffering in every part of us. This is trauma.
Millions of people have experienced severe trauma, often through war but also from many other things. Many no longer believe they are loved. Their relationship with God, family, or community may be severed.
This Cause helps restore people and communities devastated by trauma. It provides Bible-based trauma healing through group sessions, translated materials, and training.
Healing heart wounds works best in heart languages, so everything is customized to people's local languages and culture. Our materials are currently available in over 150 languages, and we continue to add more.
The sessions and materials help people first recognize, then work through their trauma. This includes expressing their pain, but not getting stuck there. They are invited to the cross of Christ for healing. Once healing has progressed, they often are able to forgive and be reconciled to those who caused the pain.
