I am looking at a Women’s Refuge postcard addressed to the New Zealand Government.
Women’s Refuge is asking for more money for Women’s Refuge safehouses. On the postcard is pointed out, that domestic violence costs us not only money, (over $1 billion each year) but also lives. It says with a lot more funding of Women’s Refuge the Government could save society an awful lot of money. And it is actually an awful lot money, that could be saved!
It is also interesting, that 21000 women and children contact Women’s Refuge each year.
Of course, we are all for stopping Domestic Violence. And there is a better way than money, namely the Gospel.
Last Anzac Day we took more than 1000 Gospel Tracts into the households of Kaitaia. People prayed also worldwide for the project, which told the families also about the real REFUGE.
Please read the following verses in the Psalms:
Psalm 9:9; Psalm 14:6; Psalm 46:1; Psalm 57:1; Psalm 59:16; Psalm 62:7,8; Psalm 71:7; Psalm 91:2,9; Psalm 94:22; Psalm 142:4,5. (NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION)
