Engedi Refuge Ministries is a faith based restoration program for adult women who are suffering from the effects of sexual exploitation.

A major component of Engedi Refuge Ministries is the Engedi Learning Center which provides each participant with a variety of programs to comprehensively learn the personal and occupational skills required to help them obtain and maintain employment or return to school. At the Learning Center participants engage in trauma focused therapy - a key component to healing from the abuse and trauma of being in "the life".

Engedi also operates Engedi House, an adult safe home with a friendly family atmosphere. It can accommodated up to 6 residents as well as a house manager.

Pastor Kevin Brearley helps explain a tool for engaging Scripture known as Lectio Divina - a great resource for you and your groups!

DVSAS supports individuals affected by domestic violence and sexual assault. No matter what their circumstances, every person deserves to feel safe, supported and heard. Domestic violence and sexual assault affects, every one of us. When 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men have experienced violence at the hands of an intimate partner, each and every life has been affected by partner violence or sexual assault. Whether it’s you, a loved one, a co-worker or a friend, someone you know needs help.

Serving individuals throughout Whatcom County, DVSAS is a volunteer-driven 501(c)(3) non-profit organization working to heal victims and end domestic violence and sexual assault. With client-centered, accessible housing and support services, DVSAS empowers victims and survivors while offering safe housing and the possibility of a new life. Their commitment is to provide the full spectrum of support and services that victims need after the trauma of partner violence or sexual assault, while also offering prevention education to break the cycle of violence once and for all.

Through important collaborations with law enforcement, local school districts and countless community members and organizations that are active participants in this work, DVSAS is building a world where every survivor has the support they deserve and there is a future free of domestic violence and sexual assault.
