To bring healing to emotional wounds and trauma through Scripture, prayer, and caring small groups.
At a glance
Many of the people we serve carry wounds no one can see — grief, violence, abuse and years of hardship. Left unhealed, that pain often shows up as anger, hopelessness or addiction.
GROW HOPE Trauma Healing brings people together in small, safe groups where Scripture, prayer and practical lessons help them understand their pain and bring it to God. Ruth, Lovemore and Susan found peace — and now help others find it too.
What this includes
Why it matters
Poverty, loss, violence and family breakdown leave deep emotional wounds — and in rural Zambia there are very few counsellors to help carry them. Unhealed trauma often fuels addiction, anger and broken relationships.
Trained church facilitators can bring help close to home, in a language and setting people trust.
How we do it
Create a safe, confidential space.

Questions
Small groups that help people work through painful experiences — loss, violence, abuse or long-term hardship — using Bible lessons together with sound mental-health principles.
Yes. Groups are small, and facilitators are trained to keep what is shared private and to make every session a safe place.
Anyone carrying emotional wounds. Some come through our recovery or prison ministries; others are referred by their church or community.
No. Facilitators are trained lay leaders. Where someone needs medical or professional help, we help them find it.
