REDEEMING TREASURES MINISTRY PRESENTS:
The First Bedford Meeting Open to Men and Women Who Are Interested in Healing from Childhood Abuse, Abandonment, or Neglect, Presented by Linda Settles, Ph.D. and Redeeming Treasures Ministry, a Non-Profit Organization
If you have experienced any form of domestic violence or abuse, or if you know someone who has and you want to learn more about how to help them heal, this faith-based study is for you! Led by Linda Settles, Ph.D., author of six published books, including award winning Redeeming Our Treasures, this study could change your life. It could empower you to help others in your church or community overcome the after-effects of childhood abuse and neglect as well as the trauma of domestic violence.
You are welcome to attend our first Bedford meeting on August 9th, 2010, from 7:00-9:00 p.m. We will discuss:
• The benefits of participating in Redeeming Treasures Studies
• Introduction to Spiritual and Clinical Principles of Life Recovery
• Future training for people interested in facilitating a Redeeming Treasure Big Group or Treasure Study
• A sample lesson and Big Group meeting
We make every effort to maintain confidentiality and make no distinction between people who come to learn how to help others and participants who have a personal need for help. We believe there is something in this study for everybody. We hope to see you there!

Wake up! Stand up! Speak out for the Children Who Can’t Speak for Themselves
I watched a video from Willow Creek church today. Bill H. said, “Find something that tears you up, that really upsets you; that is your source of ‘holy discontent.’ Go after it, become an advocate for change, make a difference.” 50% of child molestation happens at home. Most abuse occurs by the age of 9–3rd grade. Let’s get upset! Let it ‘tear us up.’ Let it drive us to advocate for change to protect the children. When we look at a classroom filled with children and realize that before they are grown 1/3 of the little girls in that class and 1/5 of the boys will be sexually victimized, it ought to make us cry. Then it ought to make us mad. Mad enough to demand that every government office, every house of worship, and every living soul on this planet stand up and say, no more. Sexual victimization of children will not be tolerated–not on my watch!
