WHAT IS FAITH-BASED RECOVERY?

 

It's possible that your abortion has left you with questions about your relationship with God.  We want to help you discover your own answers. 

We don't preach. 

We don't judge. 

We just help you work it out by leading you toward God's forgiveness and healing. It doesn't matter if you don't go to church, haven't been in a while, or if you go every Sunday.  It's not about religion.  It's about a loving God who wants to restore you. Come to the river of restoration.

 Abortion Recovery Programs

Restoring NEW LIFE  to Texas men and women after abortion

TARA suport leaders will help you understand the emotions surrounding your abortion(s) and reclaim your peace of mind and self-worth.  Perhaps for the first time ever, you'll explore your relationship with a loving and forgiving God and examine how your abortion impacted your view of Him, and of yourself.  We'll gently lead you to explore a new perspective on your abortion and identify the impact that its had on your life.

We'll help you uncover any anger or unforgiveness surrounding your abortion and we'll bring you to a place of freedom and forgiveness. Most affiliates conducting small group sessons conclude their programs with a beautiful memorial service that will help you acknowledge your lost child and leave you with the hope of heaven. 

The Texas Abortion Recovery Alliance will help you find:

  • A voice for your sorrow
  • Peace with yourself and others
  • Forgiveness for yourself and others
  • God's grace, mercy and His power to heal the broken places of your heart
  • A new outlook on life as you understand God's great love for you
  • Renewed self-worth


Here is what Judy wrote about one of our WEEKEND ENCOUNTERS:  

People's lives were truly miraculously changed.  I saw the reality of mourning afterr abortion being turned to joy.  I saw the miraculous transformation of beauty for ashes.  I saw the metamorphisis of those women who were struggling in cocoons of self-hatred, unforgiveness, bitterness, unrighteous anger, shame, hoplessness and idolatry break free into the manifestation of the glory of the sons of God.  I saw spiritual butterflies loosed to go back to their famiies, their husbands, their children, their friends, their co-workers, their neighbors with a testimony - "Once I was blind, but now I see". The change in them was so dramatic I don't believe that anyone who truly knows them will not instantly see the difference.  For now they are free to love themselves and those around them. The bonds of darkness are broken.  Now they are are truly free to love with their whole hearts. ...  Judy Owens

The Curriculum

Texas Abortion Recovery Alliance affiliates use a variety of proven abortion recovery studies that are helping women find healing and renewal after abortion.   Care leaders are not necessarily professional counselors, but they are all trained in abortion recovery leadership, and they understand the process of healing after abortion.  Many have experienced abortion themselves, and they want to share the freedom from the after-affects of abortion that they have found.

 

 our support models

We don't want to unravel your life - we work with your life.   Choose the model of recovery that works in your schedule. Check out the current TARA resources to  find support  for the recovery model of your choice in your area. 

Weekly Support Groups

Join us one evening a week and use your workbook during the week.  This is perfect for the woman who wants to take it one step at a time and has an evening to commit.  You'll never believe the difference the support of others can make in your life.  You'll find a new relationship with God, you can let go of painful issues and learn to look at your losses redemptively.

Weekend Encounters

Our weekend recovery session is preceeded by one to three pre-counsel sessions. These can be done over the phone, in one-on-one counsel, or with a TARA affiliate in a church or pregnancy care center. The Friday, Saturday, and Sunday morning Encounter will complete the process and bring closure to your loss.   These weekends are perfect for the woman who's ready to dive in, get busy and get real.  You'll come away with a new understanding of God, yourself and with joy! 

One-on-one support

There are many centers where you can go to talk privately with someone about your abortion pain.  Check out the resource page to find someone in your area who understands and who cares about your healing.
