In time this ministry will provide a non-threatening environment where                     women and children can feel accepted and encouraged....The Center will                 provide support ministries and counseling especially for women who have                 been sexually abused, disabled, and those who have lost a loved one to                 death or divorce. The Center will also provide job training, life skills                         instruction, and appropriate clothing for both women and children. Currently             the Center is located at LeClaire Christian Church. We do hope to be in our             own location by spring of 2008.
