What is the relationship between Victim Relief and the local church?
The local church is the resource for willing and committed volunteers – the defining resource of Victim Relief. The hope of the organization is at least one volunteer from every congregation. Victim Relief provides training for the volunteers. The principal focus of Victim Relief is to offer support during trauma and restoration of the victim to a safe and normal life. When the local church participates in that effort, then the church is available to provide spiritual ministry when the victim reaches that stage of recovery. Some churches also provide other resources such as financial and facility assistance.
