Bishop Professor Michael Nazir-Ali
My prayer is that Torch Ministries will be truly blessed by our Father in heaven as they seek to bring wholeness out of brokenness, good news in the midst of tragedy and communities of hope where there is fear and despair. I am delighted that the wonderful ministry of the saint and martyr, Hossein Soodmand, will continue through these children of his. God works in amazing ways his wonders to perform!

Sara’s Story

From Trauma to Trust

Daily through either individual or group counselling sessions our counselling team is helping vulnerable women, girls and couples who are dealing with complex Trauma topics, its impact and how to cope. One of the main goals of our counselling service/ministry is to help these vulnerable individuals recognise their own unhealthy responses and reactions to dealing with trauma, and then to help them to find a better strategy to overcome it. For instance, Sara had this to say as a result of our individual and group counselling sessions,

I have discovered that my main response to any trauma was fighting, which is the result of the previous traumas in my childhood.

She continued:

unconsciously I had learned to fight for everything; including my response to the trauma. Receiving help to understand my reaction to trauma was very helpful for me. It allowed me to change my strategy and approach and with the help of the Holy Spirit and I now allow God to fight for me; I don’t need to fight for everything. I am praying for God’s wisdom to assist me to understand where to fight and where to stand still and let God fight for me
