Promoting awareness, and making a statement about the miracle-working power of "true forgiveness"
The Movement
Initial Supported Cause
Won't you join us in promoting awareness, and making a statement about the miracle-working power of "true forgiveness". It IS the door that opens our hearts to unconditional love, frees us to experience life and the Divine to the fullest, and be who we were created to be!
​
Once those conscious and unconscious bonds imprisoning us have been broken, Divinely inspired faith, hope, love and peace can be experienced. Our focus then turns to how we may use our gift(s) to give back, encourage, help and inspire others.
​
Your donation or merchandise purchase, will initially help us support transitional housing and assistance for homeless women and children. Of which it is estimated that as many as 75% of whom, have experienced domestic violence or abuse in their lives.
The science and Spirit behind true forgiveness
Asheville Buncombe Community Christian Ministry (ABCCM)
ABCCM is generously supported by over 289 churches of all denominations, along with over 6,100 trained volunteers, providing emergency assistance to anyone in need, regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, age, religion or disability.
​
ABCCM allows us to do together, what individuals and single congregations cannot do alone. While providing for emergency needs, they also provide services that deal with the root causes of poverty by teaching independent living skills and restoring lives.
​
This includes the following ministries: Crisis Ministry, Jail Ministry, Veterans Restoration Quarters, Medical Ministry and Veteran Services of the Carolinas.
Current Vision: “Transformation Village”
​
ABCCM has purchased a 24-acre site near the Asheville Outlets, that in Phase One of the plan, will more than triple the number of beds currently at Steadfast House (transitional housing for single women, mothers with children, and female veterans in need).
​
Plans for Phase One also include a community center with housing units, kitchen and dining facilities, job training center, children’s education center, a playground and medical clinic.
​
ABCCM is expanding their successful programs that move homeless women and children into stability, with training programs and career-level jobs that give residents health, safety and education.
​
​Subsequent building phases will include housing for intact families, single men with children, female veterans, survivors of domestic violence, and many others.
​
​In 2008, ABCCM bought a motel that was transformed into the Veterans Restoration Quarters and took every male veteran in the area off the streets. They know what it is like to be able to say “Welcome Home” to every homeless veteran. Their dream of removing the shame of homelessness for our veterans is now their dream for every homeless child, woman and intact family.
