Finding Freedom Ministry

We provide a safe place for women who have hidden behind their shame
and guilt of a past abortion. We offer women compassion, understanding,
hope for healing, a renewed joy and finding freedom in their lives.
Those who have experienced an abortion are able to understand the
pain you are going through.

Finding Freedom meets weekly and offers help through a Bible study
specific to post abortive women. You will find freedom from the
bondage of abortion and healing that only Jesus Christ can offer.
Study Starts March 30, for those in the SouthEast Texas Area.
