Our Story
Journey to Heal Ministries exists to help women heal from past sexual abuse through hope in Jesus Christ, and to equip the church to do the same. We launched in 2018 in response to the growing need for Christ-centered, Biblically-based support for women.
Our eight-week Journey to Heal program was written by our Founder and Director, Crystal Sutherland. It’s based on her book, Journey to Heal: Seven Essential Steps of Recovery for Survivors of Childhood Sexual Abuse, published in April of 2016 by Kregel Publications. Crystal wrote Journey to Heal out of a felt need to help other women like herself who have experienced abuse to find courage, hope, and healing in Jesus Christ.
Ten years later Crystal’s book is still impacting lives for good. Through our Journey to Heal program women receive trauma-informed, Gospel-centered, support and community they desperately need. They realize they’re not alone and there is hope for healing. To date we’ve supported thousands of survivors in their healing journey, mentored over 790 women through our 8-week JTH program, trained over 70 of these women to lead our program in their local church or counseling center, written additional resources for healing, and so much more.
