Abortion Recovery (Women) // Curriculum Based Schedule
Abortion Recovery is led by women who have experienced the grief of abortion and know firsthand the thoughts, pain, and shame women who are going or have gone through an abortion struggle with. The blame, denial, self-punishment, regret, or justifications are just a few of the emotions one can face. Many women struggle for years with these hidden emotions in fear of bringing them to light before God’s truth in the matter. This group brings the healing, forgiveness, mercy, and grace found in God’s Word that women need to be set free from the chains of the enemy, and into God’s plan of using His redemption of her pain for His purpose to help others. We want you to see the truth in God’s creation and to fight back against the lies of the enemy that can overcome your decisions.
