General Announcements
Retreat for men suffering from association with past abortion will take place on May 3-4
A Project Joseph Healing Retreat for Men will take place in the central Indiana area from 9 a.m. on May 3 through 4 p.m. on May 4. The location will be provided upon registration.
Are you a man suffering from the pain of a past abortion? Did you feel helpless like you had no choice, that it was your best or only option? Are you still haunted by grief or guilt? Has the anger never left you, or do you feel you should be punished for the loss of your child? Are your relationships suffering? Are you unable to talk about the experience?
Don’t wait any longer to experience Christ’s mercy.
Project Joseph healing retreats are for men who struggle with the emotional and spiritual pain of abortion. The retreat is a unique and effective process designed specifically to help men experience the mercy and compassion of God.
Registration is required by April 21. The next Project Joseph Healing Retreat will take place in September in southern Indiana.
