Hello, and welcome brother or sister! If you have been spiritually abused just coming to this site was hard and frightening. We know; we have been there. In 1997, when we left the cultic, abusive church where we had been since 1979, we were devastated and full of despair of ever knowing what it would be like to be a "normal" Christian again. What was normal? It certainly was not us, and the future looked black and impossible. We cried a lot, felt numb a lot, I was deeply depressed for many months. All because we had come into a church that promised what we really wanted - a close and deep walk with our Savior. Instead our souls and emotions were ruined, our lives broken, almost two decades of useful life were gone, and we were now middle-aged. We watched our old Bible college classmates whom we had condemned as being too shallow come home from 20 years on the mission field, or serving as pastors, Christian school teachers, or just faithful laymen and laywomen who had many ministries and had led many people to the Savior. We felt so useless, so wasted, so alone.

God was not through with us, though. He is the God of second chances. But this site is not about us; it is about God's deep, passionate, healing love for you. It is about information to help you in your healing. It is about resources to help you heal. And it is about you, my dear Christian brother or sister. We know your sorrow; we know your desolation and pain. We have been down to the valley of the shadow of soul and emotional death, and have come back again. We know the twists and turns, and we want to help.

Before you begin to search this site, let me tell you the three major ministries that God used to bring us back to life. Click on the link below to go to that page. It is one of the most important pages in this site.

We want to hear from you! Please use our feedback page to tell us about yourself, ask questions, and just to talk. Telling your story is so important for your healing. We look forward to doing what Jesus commanded, washing the feet of his children. We hope and pray that this site helps to heal some of the painful effects of your cultic, mind controlling, abusive past.
