Restoring Hope is the healing and resilience ministry of American Bible Society. Through Trauma Healing Institute, crisis response tools, and resources for individuals and communities our ministry equips the Church to address people’s pain and help them build resilience through the transformative power of God’s Word.
How to Get Started
The first step in starting a Restoring Hope ministry in your church or community is to experience Bible-based healing for yourself. Once you know what it’s like first-hand, you can quickly learn to facilitate healing groups yourself—no prior ministry or mental health expertise required. And if your church or community wants to dive deeper, join the Restoring Hope Church Toolkit Pilot.
