Crisis Response: Healing Conversations
The world is hurting...
Refugees are streaming into a city nearby. New refugees made from a natural disaster fill the news headlines. The faces of families and children affected by war flash across our screens. Maybe you watched the news and felt stirred to do something. But after a while, the headlines go away. The refugees and hurting people remain.
As the body of Christ, we must respond quickly, comprehensively, appropriately, and compassionately. Multiplying Hope seeks to offer appropriate trauma response from day one. Join Multiplying Hope as it seeks to address the emotional needs of people in crisis with the life-giving healing only God can give.
“But I’m not qualified or equipped!”
Multiplying Hope is confident that all
believers have what they need from
God to walk alongside those who
are hurting.
Will you step out in faith to journey
with someone?
** This training does not replace professional mental health care. Some people may need professional
care, and we seek to help identify and refer those who need it to the appropriate care.
Healing Conversations
People in crisis are not ready for traditional healing groups that ask them to share their past pain. They need community and survival tools for their immediate situation.
Healing Conversations are just the first phase of an on-going, integrated program of trauma-informed discipleship and leadership development.
Join us for the journey!
