Help for hurting women - A Friend's House

Last night we had our first PLS Night (Programs of Peace, Love, and Service). There were 16 in attendance - in addition to the two presenters - and it was a fantastic presentation and discussion on simple things we can do to have a profound impact on the lives of others.

This month's featured program was 'A Friends House' (click on the name to find them online). According to their web site:

A Friend’s House is a residential facility that provides a safe place for young women to live as they learn to successfully handle eating disorders, unplanned pregnancies, sexual abuse and substance abuse. A Friend’s House is located in Bluffton, Indiana and serves the Fort Wayne area, all of northeast Indiana and northwest Ohio, and will consider women from anywhere in the United States.

If you are a woman in need of help, I strongly urge you to visit their website: www.afriendshouse.net, or call them at 1-260-824-5556.

If you would like more information on how YOU can help them help others, there is also information on the website, or you can go HERE. They do not accept any government funding, and it is only through the generosity of people like you that they are able to provide young women with the opportunity to hear the gospel and allow Jesus to change their lives.

Aside from the need for financial assistance their website will soon share other practical ideas and ways to assist; or you can call the above number and ask personally what you might be able to do. They also stressed that they are always available and excited to give tours of their facility, or would be glad to come and share with your group. It sounds like a well-run and meaningful ministry.
