One of the biggest surprises this program has produced is that it’s put together a team of people that can spot a student in crisis. Most of the time, a member of this team can have one conversation with a girl and tell if she has the “syndrome”. From that point, we can provide a place that she can go where there are other people in the same situation. She receives hope and support. She recognizes that she is not alone.

We’ve seen several success stories. Kristen is married now with a baby on the way. It took several years, but she’s finally at the point where she believes she’s worthy of love. Hannah’s in college and works in children’s ministry. I see a difference in her attitude and the other day I saw her hug her dad and tell him she loved him. That was huge! Another girl isn’t out of high school yet, but she’s made the choice to not get in a serious relationship until she’s worked through her problems.

“Life Hurts, God Heals” has been a tremendous help in reaching girls with the “syndrome”. They continue to come through our doors and now that we recognize them, the number seems to be increasing. They need God. They need unconditional love. They need support. They need hope. For us this has been the way to make a difference.
