Imagine:
1. You are 40 years old having spent the last 30 years being sold for sex. You find your way to a healthy organization who
provides a home for you with plenty to eat, new clothes, new friends and even a job. You are finally free. You know that you
should feel safe, but your mind is still in bondage to the monsters who stole your identity and self-worth. You feel empty.
2. Imagine the man finally released from prison. He is a part of a program which provides all that he needs for a fresh start in
life, but the world has changed, and he is plagued with anxiety as thoughts of the trauma that caused his drug use begin to
haunt him. He is tempted to medicate the pain. He wants to change but he feels powerless. He needs help but cannot afford it.
3. A little boy in fourth grade is encouraged by his mentor to complete his homework this time, but as he walks home, all he can
think about is his mom lying in a pool of blood. She was murdered right before his eyes. He feels lost, alone and afraid.
4. A soldier is back home and hasn’t been in active duty for years but the war in his mind never ends. His family suffers the loss
of their father/husband because he’s no longer the same. He lives in a constant state of panic while his family grieves.
These stories, though horrific, are typical for the clients we have the honor of serving. Most of us cannot fathom what our clients
have endured and yet our Christ-centered mental health program is bringing both hope and healing to our brothers and sisters in
need. Your financial support has made this possible. Your support is making a difference!
Building Bridges Ministries was created to bring hope and help to the abused and to equip those who minister to them!
