God intended the home to be a place of safety, not of fear. Christ instructed us to be a light to the world around us and go out into the world to share his Gospel. If we are to truly reach the world around us then we must reach individuals and families. Abusive behavior is a belief system not a sickness and victims have done nothing to cause their mistreatments.
I believe that reaching out to domestic violence victims is a Family Mission Field that is urgently needed in our society today. It is my mission to make the facts available to victims and to the church.”
Endorsments:
“I really thought when I invited Mina to speak to our Celebrate Recovery Group about domestic violence that I would gain very little personally. I was absolutely, unequivocally mistaken! I was able to recognize a form of domestic violence in my own life that had never occurred to me. Now I will begin the healing process. Thank you Mina. As a group we learned no much and appreciate your sharing with us.” Natalie Gillespie, Facilitator, Celebrate Recovery, Jersey Baptist Church, Pataskala, OH “Mina’s seminar on domestic violence is a must see for every church interested in healing. It discusses the reality and relevance of what transpires in many homes, both Christian and non-Christian. It exposes the secrecy, the shame, its effects on family members, and how to get help.” Kala Johnson, Ministries Director, Eagles Nest Fellowship, Columbus, OH “Mina Raulston has experienced the dynamics of domestic violence first hand. She knows how it feels to be put down and abused by the man she loved. She also knows the power of recovery and healing. Mina provides her listeners with the real story and a call to action. She helps people understand ways that they can reach out to domestic violence victims and provide a life-line of support , not shame.” Phyllis Carlston-Riehm, Director, Action Ohio
