Domestic Violence is a very serious matter around the world.it is the number one plaque that kills family especially women and children.every 9 segunds a women is beaten by her husband or boyfriend. I am the founder of Woman in Prayer Ministries Inc.is a religious organization were I work with women who are survivors or victims.we also give counseling,but it is very sad to hear that inside the congregation/churches they are women who are in silence.I prepare my self each day because is a taboo inside the christian church to talk about this matter.but God has given me this privelege to educate women and couples. its really hard. I met a woman her husband stabbed her 8 times beacuse she decided she wanted to get seperated from him. she survived to tell her story/testimony. he only got 5 yrs in prison.few years later she tells me he remarried with another woman.she received a called that he had killed his newlywed wife and his stepdaughter who tried to defend her was in ICU critical condition.. he has been in jail ever since.what am i trying to say even leaders,pastors, deacons.beat there wifes.but the most abuse they use is emotional abuse.because it is not visible.this women are to scared to speak out, this is not right for anyone. I decided once that I will speak for all of those women and children from around the world.we are all one and we have rights.I am a survivor of domestic violence.God will lead the way.we will expand to other countrys open shelters in africa,india,honduras were ever God leads I will be theirf for them.
