In June, 16 participants from our Native American communities attended our annual Grief to Grace Retreat in collaboration with Restore Dignity. This week-long retreat combines prayer techniques with counseling practices, helping participants to heal from trauma. Your support makes work like this possible! Thank you! Here’s what some of our retreatants said about their experience:
“I struggled for so long and now I actually have a fighting chance at a better life. A better life with God.”
“I have been doing healing in my trauma for quite some time now. But this retreat by far has helped me more than all therapy sessions combined.”
“I was hesitant coming...but I knew I had to go for my future self and family. I knew the Lord carried me here for a reason. It was to be reminded I’m made in His image. I can now say, ‘I am healed.’”
“[Grief to Grace] is something our community needs.”
