There is freedom from the emotional wounds of your abortion.
Abortion is devastating and leaves a lasting impact on your heart, but it is not unforgivable.
Many believe that they are forgiven, but cannot forgive themselves.
Jesus has come to give you freedom from your abortion wounded heart.
We are here to help you experience that freedom.
Since 2008, we’ve led hundreds of retreats that helped women and men just like you experience healing and lasting freedom.
I didn’t want anyone to get too close to me…
Amy felt everyone else at church was clean and she was not and if she got too close to them, they would find out. After attending a Deeper Still retreat, she was able to recall her true identity and now lives confidently as a daughter of the King.

Men also carry the wounds of abortion.
You’ve always been told abortion is a women’s issue. Whether you had a choice or not, you are still a father and your heart matters. Freedom from the wounds of abortion is also for you.
Taking the first step is the hardest part.
If you reach out, we’ll take your hand, and walk right beside you through the entire weekend.
