When Adam and Eve bit into the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, the disease of sin entered our world. The perfect, safe paradise that our Lord had created for us was no more. Thankfully, humanity's story does not end there. The hope and faith given to us through Christ Jesus carries us through the trials of this fallen world. God also gave us tools to endure through the many trials that come.
One vital tool that is available to us is Christ-centered therapy. Though painful experiences are an inevitable part of life, we can traverse the healing process with the right help. This is especially true if the trauma experienced was sexual abuse. It is essential that victims get immediate help to prevent the onset of extreme anxiety, depression and self-destructive behaviors. This is why The Barnabas Group ("TBG") is honored to come alongside A Quarter Blue ("AQB"). Their ministry is dedicated to protecting children through preventative education, and therapy for sexual abuse victims and their families.
Their ministry is intent on reaching as many victims as possible. In accordance with that goal, AQB limits operational costs to 5%. The majority of their contributions go directly to their programs. That is where our TBG family has truly made an impact. Many of our TBG partners have donated their time and talents to exponentially multiply the impact of the funds donated to this amazing ministry. Founder of AQB, Martha Nix Wade, recently stated the following regarding TBG:
"Over the past five years I have been blessed through attending TBG's educational workshops, participating in TBG's Coaching Program (my coach is Jeff Jernigan), and TBG partners completed a SWOT analysis for our ministry. Through these experiences, I have been overwhelmed by the commitment of business leaders to pour into the non-profit sector. As leaders within the non-profit world, we often become so entrenched in our work that we fail to see all of the various solutions to our challenges. We need outsiders to come in and throw us a life-line of wisdom, discernment, and insight.
I truly marvel at TBG Partners' preparedness, advice, and willingness to make a difference in our work. They readily provide advice gained through years of experience,
with nothing expected in return. This is such a rare gift in a self-centered world, and I am so grateful. Thank you TBG!"
