ARMS, ABUSE RECOVERY MINISTRY
One of these is ARMS, Abuse Recovery Ministry. This group is based out of Oregon but is spreading. This group teaches women that they do not have to be victims of abuse , that it is not God's plan. They offer groups form men and women who are abusive to help them recover from their behaviors. I have completed training to lead the Her Journey classes. I know it will be a benefit to many women.

Founded in 2013, in Coweta County Georgia, the board of directors made a decision to be a youth based development organization. How does this work? By working with parents and other adults in a child’s life. The board of directors, working together with those in our community designed a strategic plan that looks at barriers our families and youth are facing that prevent success. Looking at generational patterns in families, we look for solutions to the issues that prevent them from success.
For over 40 years Christian Families Today has been coaching, counseling, training and equipping men, women and children how to build biblically healthy lives and families. Our purpose, hope and desire is to see everyone operating in loving, peaceful relationships with God, themselves, and others. I personally participated in the counseling for over a year then completed Advanced Discipleship Counseling parts I. II. III & IV. My husband and I attended the Grow in Grace Seminars. I highly reccommend their services for healing and personal growth.
