This piece also shares the hope, acceptance, and transformation that women experience when they came to New Friends New Life looking for a way out of the degradation.  

Thank you to the talented staff at Irving Bible Church who believed in the beauty and power of these women’s stories and worked to share this message with you: Mike Gwartney (Executive Producer), Brandon Jones (Graphic Artist), and Jeff Jones (Producer/Editor).
