What is a Restored Life?

Rescue
‍
Rescue from toxic physical situations and circumstances is the beginning of restoration in a person’s life. Physical surroundings and dangerous environments can create a trap, holding a person captive forever. Exit from direct danger, unhealthy environments, abuse and exploitation is key for restoration to begin.

Relationship
‍
A relationship with God and access to safe, healthy relationships is the fuel of restoration. Access to vital relationships directly impacts a person’s identity, their self-esteem, their emotional health and their future.

Resources
‍
In order for full restoration to happen in a person’s life, their basic needs must be met. A restored life begins with a healthy and safe place to live, access to food and clothing and the ability to pursue an education and become employed.

Recovery
‍
Addiction must be dealt with for a person to be truly free. Recovery is not limited to substance abuse. Recovery from mental illness, trauma, exploitation and the side effects of poverty allows a person to be fully restored, knowing who they are and what they are capable of becoming.
