Sheltering Wings Brian Correll

This week, Flory Phillips gave her 10 minutes of fame.  She introduced Brian Correll.  Brian has traveled the world on mission trips.  He was born in East Africa and spent time in Kenya as a Missionary.  Brian helped us open our eyes to how privileged we are in America.  Brian spent time preaching to locals and was always on the move going to the next town on his mission trips.  A changing moment was when one of the local asked, "What about us?"  Today, there is an advocate for local women and children asking, "What about us?"

Sheltering Wings with its 37 employees and over 200 active volunteers help local women and children that have been in a abusive relationship.  They focus on helping those local people who need the help.  Brian mentioned that 75% of children in an abusive household will become abusers.

The shelter provides education opportunities and rebuilding skills to those who call the shelter home.  Women can spend up to 2 years and often have children with them.  There are support opportunities available.
