“HELP STOP VIOLENCE IN THE HOME”

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 [...]

BANNERS

(Money or Souls?)

JEREMIAH 22:29 O LAND, LAND, LAND, HEAR THE WORD OF THE LORD!

Since then I have come only across banners put up by [...]
