Currently there is a regional shelter for victims of domestic violence. This shelter is in Columbus, Indiana called Turning Point. We would seek to assist Turning Point, to increase their advocacy program in Shelby County. We offer office space, meeting rooms, and unceasing prayer in support of their organization. Turning Point is lacking assistance with transitional housing for those still in need after a 30 day stay in the Columbus shelter. That is where we come in.
We admire the people who survive domestic violence and begin a new life free from fear. With God All Things are Possible.
