HER Life Journey
“The old life is gone; A NEW LIFE HAS BEGUN” 2 Corinthians 5:17
HER Life Journey creates a future where recovering women thrive, anchored in hope and empowered by a legacy of faith. Women live a prosperous life, fostering resilience and opportunities for generations to come. Building their lives on Jesus Christ leads to pioneering, discipling others, achieving stable housing and prosperous employment.
Community
Community provides us with a sense of belonging and makes us feel that we are a part of something greater than ourselves. Through dedicated one-on-one peer support and a built-in sisterhood, we heal within and begin to help others in our community heal.
Courage
When faced with pain and fear, we courageously make choices from our values and pursue the life we were destined to live. In conversations with each other, it’s often the smallest seed that reminds us of what matters the most.
Lived Experience
Dignifying lived experience calls for a deeper understanding--to hear and learn from each woman’s story. Each one of our clients is unique; we share stories to expand our understanding of each other and find ways to grow and heal.
