WANT TO BECOME INVOLVED?
Restore & Rise Ministries was founded on the desire to respond to several challenges women and children commonly face when trying to find safety and healing from domestic violence and abuse. Many of our projects and services came about as a result of real women’s experiences and the most pressing needs they felt during the time of seeking safety from abuse.
We invite you to check below and pray about how God is leading you to contribute your time or financial resources to support R&R’s initiatives, projects, and services as they reach and serve more women!

Behind Closed Doors Initiative
Abuse thrives in silence—most often behind closed doors.
It's hidden, overlooked, and all too often, tolerated. Many women are taught—or told—not to speak up. But at Restore & Rise, we believe every voice matters, and every woman deserves a way out.
That’s why we launched the Behind Closed Doors Initiative—a nationwide outreach designed to discreetly reach women in faith communities and healthcare settings who may be experiencing domestic abuse or violence.
After much prayer and careful planning, the initiative was born from one powerful goal: To get life-saving resources into the hands of women—right where they are, when they need it most, without fear or shame.
We’re placing Restore & Rise awareness posters in women’s restroom stalls in churches and OBGYN and gynecological offices across the country. Why?
Because these are often the only private moments a woman might have to safely access help.
Whether it’s:
A new mom managing little ones in a church bathroom,
A first-time expectant mother at a check-up, or
A woman who’s been silently suffering for years
These private spaces can become a turning point.
Each poster offers a lifeline—information, support, and a path to safety and healing.
Every poster placed could mean freedom for a woman. Hope for a child. Healing for a family.
Will you help us get the word out?
Together, we can shine a light and bring abuse out from behind closed doors.

RISE Abuse Recovery Groups — Launching Winter 2225
RISE Recovery Groups are Christ-centered support groups for women who have been or are in a destructive, or unsafe marriage or intimate relationship, emotional trauma, or spiritual manipulation—and are ready to walk toward healing in a safe, supportive, trauma-informed environment.
A New Model of Support
All RISE Groups are led via Zoom by a trained abuse recovery coach, ensuring every participant receives expert guidance, Biblical truth, and compassionate care.
While the groups meet virtually and women can sign up directly and individually, churches or organizations can also sponsor a group in their local area—providing a gathering space for women in person while the group is facilitated live online. This allows for local connection and community, while maintaining the consistency and depth of professionally guided recovery.
Whether you're:
A survivor seeking healing
A church leader wanting to support women in your congregation
Or a community member with a heart to help
RISE is designed to meet women where they are—and walk with them toward freedom.
What’s Included:
Weekly Zoom-based group sessions led by a trained abuse recovery coach
Participant materials
Optional in-person gatherings (sponsored by local churches or hosts)
Spiritual, emotional, and practical tools for healing and growth

Restore & Rise Groups offer a place where people can be vulnerable and authentic. It also provides a safe space for participants where they can make deeper connections, which may not always happen in the church at large. I see it as an integral part of the church as it caters to the mental, emotional, and social health that will help the church to grow and thrive!

Restoration Homes & Farms is one of RFG’s long-term dreams: a faith-based residential and retreat space designed to support women and children healing from domestic violence, emotional abuse, and trauma.
Our vision is to create a peaceful, self-sustaining community where survivors can safely rebuild their lives—physically, emotionally, spiritually, and economically.
Why It Matters
For women leaving abusive relationships, safe and affordable housing is often the number one barrier to starting over. Many face:
Poor credit due to financial abuse
Limited income while trying to regain independence
A lack of pet-friendly rental options (and pets are often family too)
We’re praying and planning for the opportunity to purchase land where we can build the first three starter homes—transitional rental housing for women and their children to stay for 1–2 years while they regain stability and hope.
A Vision for More Than Just Housing
Our dream doesn’t stop at shelter. On this same property, we envision:
Restoration Farms — A working farm that provides job opportunities, healing through nature, and space to grow food for residents
Retreat Center & Lodge — Hosting our R&R Retreats for survivors, church leaders, and abuse recovery training
On-Site Job & Life Skills Support — Helping women partner with local employers and build long-term independence
Airbnb or Campsites — To help generate sustainable income and help fund the ministry long-term
At the core of it all is this: A place of restoration, community, and new beginnings.
You can help make this a reality:

Refresh & Restore Retreats (R&R Retreats) were born from lived experience and a deep need for connection. After leaving an abusive marriage, our founder longed for the faith-based family camp experiences she and her son once enjoyed. But most retreats catered to “traditional families,” leaving women like her without a safe space to truly rest, heal, and be supported. That gap inspired the creation of R&R Retreats—designed specifically for women navigating life beyond traditional family structures.
Who R&R Retreats Are For:
Women recovering from domestic abuse or emotional trauma
Those leaving toxic or unsafe relationships
Single moms navigating life on their own
Women grieving the loss of a spouse or major life transition
Women needing emotional, spiritual, and physical rest in a supportive, faith-based setting
Looking Ahead: Virtual R&R Retreat
We are prayerfully exploring plans for the first virtual Refresh & Restore Retreat and hope to bring this healing experience to women in the near future. While the timeline is not yet finalized, we are committed to making this vision a reality.
What to Expect:
Powerful, Christ-centered messages of hope and restoration
Healing workshops led by trained abuse recovery coaches
Guided reflection & journaling sessions
Optional breakout groups for connection and support
Opportunities to rest, exhale, and be spiritually renewed
Whether you’ve just left a toxic relationship or have been walking the healing path for years, this retreat is a place for you—to be seen, heard, and restored.
You’re not alone. You belong here. You’re invited to come find your tribe and be refreshed.
Help Make This Vision a Reality
We’re currently raising funds and building partnerships to make R&R Retreats accessible to more women—especially those who can’t afford traditional retreats or travel.
