Abused Woman Ministries, Inc. is dedicated to helping women, their children and men who
have been abused! We do this by providing them with the tools they need to recover from the
bondage of domestic violence and abuse. However, we know that domestic violence/abuse is not
the only traumatic event that can keep a person from having a healthy relationship! Therefore,
we will also focus on recovering from the following traumatic experiences in the "Journey of
Freedom: Pursuing Freedom From The Bondage of Traumatic Experiences:" sexual
assault, rejection, abandonment, neglect, loneliness... (whatever other traumatic experience God
gives me to include).
The AWM Counseling Recovery Program's Importance of Forgiveness Recovery Program
which started on May 28, 2013, is the first course to your "Journey of Freedom Program!" I
am dedicated to walking with you (I cannot do it for you - I am an instrument that God is using
to help you recover - as He gives me your tools of recovery, I give them to you then you must
decide to take this journey) so are you dedicated to take the journey? If so, let me know by

nobody will be able to pluck you out!! God will NEVER leave you nor forsake you!! Trust

Abused Woman Recovery Program (AWRP) “Empowering the abused woman to recover”
What It Is: A program designed to provide educational support, through training,
to abused and battered women of domestic violence.
Mission: To teach abused women how to recover from the bondage of domestic
violence and abuse.
Purpose/Goal: To help abused women realize they can recover from the bondage
of domestic violence/abuse and show them how to recover.
Program Theme: The theme of the program is “Recovering From Abuse.” Each
book or teaching/lecture we discuss will be centered on recovering from the
bondage of domestic violence. However, the main tool that will be used in the
AWRP is an educational skills training program called, “Tools for Triumphant
Living.” However, for this particular part of the recovery program, only the Basic
Course from the “Tools for Triumphant Living” will be used which are “Violence &
Abuse” and “Anger Management Recovery” Programs along with the “Importance
of Forgiveness Recovery Program.”
Program Vision: To empower abused women of all nationality through education
and training so they will be set free from the bondage of domestic violence.
How Does It Work: This program is an interactive one. Each week on Tuesday I
will post a part of this teaching. There will be questions to answer in this part of
the teaching; they are the ones with an asterisk (*) and will be in the middle of
the lesson for that week - you will answer that question and send it back to me - if
I do not receive the answer back, I will assume you have not completed the
teaching for that week. There are also exercises at the end of each lesson for you
to complete; that is why I said this is an interactive teaching!! Remember, the goal
of this teaching and all other teachings in the "Journey of Freedom" Series is to
help you recover and you have to take responsibility for your own recovery; I am
here to direct you as God leads me!! The exercises are all designed to help you
apply what you learn in the teachings to your life every day and this will help with
your recovery process. Recovery is a process and the more you work on that
process, the sooner you will recover.
“Abused Woman Ministries’ (AWM) Anger Management Recovery Program”
The "AWM Anger Management Recovery Program," which is a part of our "Tools for Triumphant Living" Christian Education Program which was developed by Charlana Kelly, purpose is to help those who are recently out of abusive relationships or is still struggling with the effects from previous abuse - have anger issues - if you are angry, you have not fully forgiven the person or persons who hurt you. If that is the case, you might need to not only go through this Program, but go back through the "Importance of Forgiveness Recovery Program." In this recovery program, I will help you through your recovery process one step at a time; this is a program God gave me and I am giving it to you as He gave it to me. The "AWM Anger Management Recovery Program" is also an interactive Program just like the "AWM Importance of Forgiveness Recovery Program" and "AWM Violence & Abuse Recovery Program;" therefore, you will have the opportunity to ask questions and discuss whatever part of the teaching you want either via email to me directly ([email protected]), on the Recovery For Abused Women Blog web site, on the Abused Woman Ministries, Inc. main Facebook page or on the Abused Woman Ministry School of Healing Facebook page.
