The numbers of real lives impacted from sexual abuse are astounding. What is more heartbreaking is when you realize a real person with real hurt is tied to every number.
That is why we are bring international speaker and author, Nicole Braddock Bromley to Marion for a time of sharing and hope for those impacted and their loved ones who wish to partner with them in freedom. The Shepherd’s Fellowship is partnering with Love INC, Voice of Hope Pregnancy Distress Center and Turning Point for this one night event.
To show why this is so important to us, let me share with you a recent thought from Nicole, our speaker and sexual abuse survivor… (then below we will put more information about the event and how you can come!
From Nicole Braddock Bromley… “1 in 3 girls and 1 in 6 boys are sexually abused by the age of 18, usually by someone the child knows and has been taught to trust. Look beneath the surface… be vigilant… it’s our responsibility to protect and care for the innocent little ones of the earth.”

More about Mary…
When she’s not hanging out with her hubby and son, Mary’s either passionately playing sports, generously volunteering, or hitting the clearance rack. You may hear Mary talking about her short comings and the messy side of life. Yet, if you hang around long enough you’ll also realize that her sensitivity is balanced by her strong-will and sarcastic sense of humor. Mary’s most known for her enormous collection of hand sanitizer and her neat and tidy home and office space. Mary is one half of the popular morning team “Mornings with Mary and Josh” on 104.9 fm The River.
