Healing Streams provides seminars, training, and resources to Christian organizations working in the Great Lakes Region of Africa. This region includes the eastern provinces of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Rwanda, Uganda, Burundi, Kenya, and Tanzania. Healing Streams seeks to provide resources for Hope & Healing through our involvement with local and mission organizations. Healing Streams staff have expertise in the area of trauma recovery, leadership development, and biblical training.
Why? Within
the recent past, and with the exception of Tanzania, these countries
have been inflicted with conflict ranging from civil unrest to genocide
to what has been called Africa's world war in DRC. In the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) alone,
over 5.4 million people have died from war related causes and hundreds
of thousands of women have been raped as an act of war. How does a
country rebuild when it's leaders have been killed or a community
demoralized by the brutal strategic rape of its women? Healing Streams is
commited to standing with women and men in eastern DRC and other
countries in the Great Lakes region and declaring, "You are not alone!"
In the DRC, Healing Streams partners with Congolese organizations to provide post trauma training and leadership development seminars. Currently focusing on a series of training modules for Pastoral Counsellors and other caregivers, Healing Streams' Dawn and Ross Penner conduct Hope & Healing Seminars on the Recovery from War Trauma and Rape. These train the trainer sessions are accompanied by a newly developed training manual to equip Christian leaders in the training of others.
Healing Streams also considers requests from other international locations. Contact Us to see if we can resource your group.
