Domestic violence occurs at incredibly high rates in the Pacific Islands. This tragedy occurs in Tonga as well and is increasing. Domestic violence is dangerous to women and their children, causes suffering and trauma, and strips women of their dignity and worth. This project seeks to restore their dignity through God’s truth and is a way for the church to demonstrate the love, care, and justice of Jesus.
Through your support of this support group and Bible study, women will experience a safe place where they can be seen and heard. Women will work through the “Steps to Peace With God” study which shares the Gospel in a manner that is trauma-sensitive. The initiative will also include practical assistance when needed, such as provision of clothing and food.
