“Trauma is a vast mission field. I believe it is the mission field of the 21st century. Global trauma is the voice of our Savior calling us to follow Him in the fellowship of His sufferings. The question before the church is: will she go?”
— Diane Langberg

We aim to foster effective Christ-centered ministry by raising awareness of the need for compassionate and evidence-based support for trauma survivors and help facilitate trauma-responsive changes in churches and Christian ministries.
