What can you do to heal the harm caused by crime? Crime causes many harms and there are many opportunities to contribute to their healing. No matter what your present situation, your help is needed.
We believe that the success of everything we attempt depends upon prayer. We rely upon the energy, time and talent of those who volunteer, and the generosity of those who can donate their funds.
