Faith in Action Fighting Abuse
Faith in action Fighting abuse
Ministry program focuses on healing through God
By Stefanie Lewallen, Special to My Life

Janet Napper, founder and director of Global GoGirl Ministries, leads a support group called Overcoming Abuse God's Way, which meets every first and third Saturday of the month at 9:30 a.m. at Oak Forest Church of God in Southaven. The group curriculum is based on chart methods and diagrams.
"Women are fragile and confused. The chart method makes it easier for them," said Napper. "It is hard to think or plan when you are in an abusive situation. The charts help women to see the cause and effects of abuse, which helps them to overcome."
Napper said that this approach helped her overcome a life of abuse that began for her at the age of 2. She would like to see her support program planted in other churches and is holding a free, special training session Sept. 18.
Global GoGirl Ministries plans to hold a silent auction and fashion show in the Peabody Ballroom on Oct. 17 during Domestic Violence Awareness Month to grow awareness and help women of domestic abuse. Napper would like anyone who is interested in helping the abused women in their church or community to come to the event and learn more.
"I think every pastor and their wife needs to know that one in every four women in the church are victims of abuse," said Napper. "This event is designed for men and women."
Guest speakers include Michael W. Orr, chief inspector U.S. Marshals.
While the event is a fashion show, it will focus on inner beauty. "Most of the models are victims of abuse themselves," said Napper.
"Abuse is not just battery," explained Napper. "Abuse can include being rejected from a spouse that has cheated on them, abuse as a child and women who have been taken advantage of as a teenager. It can be past or present. Abuse can be emotional, verbal, physical and even financial."
Napper said that most women experience more than one abusive event.
