safety, but there is a disconnection between their need

and provision. Women are seeking help. Church leaders,

many of whom are volunteers, want to help. Individuals

are concerned. Why, then, are women failing to find help in

local churches? What prevents our churches from effectively

helping women who are abused by their husbands?

The missing piece is an understanding of domestic abuse and

how to apply the good news of Jesus, His Word and character

to what has remained unseen, unknown, and misunderstood.

"ƒ‚‚]ƒ‚‚€ƒ‚‚](Sydney Millage has) provided comprehensive hope

and help for victims of domestic abuse, counselors and

friends who come alongside them, and churches striving

to shepherd members righteously and compassionately."
