Go Fish


Gift of Faith & Inspiration Safe Haven



Gift of Faith & Inspiration Safe Haven is a program designed for helping women and children who may need assistance getting out of abusive situations. The Go FISH program seeks to help women and children stay out of the abusive situation by raising self-esteem through education, inspiration, and modification of physical circumstances. We will attempt to educate women to her options with the possibilities of seeking a higher education, or resume preparation for those who do not choose to go further in their education and need to reenter the work force. We will attempt to inspire women with godly principles of faith and lifestyle examples. We will attempt to modify physical circumstances by encouraging the victim to remove herself from the abusive situation in order to stop enabling the abuser to continue the abusive behavior. If available, rooms will be provided for women and their children in a non-disclosed location for temporary shelter until other arrangements can be made when there is imminent danger or at the discretion of the founders/directors. 40 days is the maximum stay in same location. Women in the program are to be cigarette, alcohol, and drug free. Any infraction will automatically disqualify them from the program. Women will be required to keep locations secret from friends and family, or any other person not directly involved with the program, for the safety of all concerned. Physical circumstances will also be modified by providing food, clothing, and self-esteem building makeovers when necessary or requested either free or at minimum costs. Donations from Christian sponsors of services, money, food, shelter, clothing, and makeup will be solicited for these purposes. Christians with an unused room in their home who would like to make it available to these women could make a huge difference in the life of someone abused, hurting and afraid to move on.

Reputable reading material will be made available for self-counsel, while recommendations will be made for those wishing to seek Christian Counsel, professional psychological help, or legal counsel. Go Fish Ministries, Inc. will provide Christian Counseling in the context of the ministry. We will provide loans of various self-help educational and inspirational books and we offer a series of life focused tracts written from a Christian perspective, which will be made available to women in the program free of charge. We will also offer a support group consisting of women who are seeking to remove themselves from abusive relationships and mentors who have successfully removed themselves from abusive relationships.
