Charla Echlin’s Walk for Freedom
Hello! My name is Charla. I’ve been married to John for almost 28 years and have a beautiful 37-year-old daughter, Roxanne. I have been a Healing Hearts leader for the Hem of His Garment study for almost 3 years! It is a privilege to walk alongside women who, like me, have gone through many seasons of trials and struggles. I have known the heartache of divorce, of struggling with single motherhood, I am a cancer survivor, and have experienced all of the emotions that flood our hearts when we are just trying to do the right thing. Life just gets really hard sometimes. But God is our answer, and I love bringing this truth to other women, helping them and guiding them through God’s Word so that they, too, can find the peace that their hearts long for.
Why do I volunteer my time helping others? I became a Healing Hearts Leader at about the same time that I was pursuing my certification as a biblical counselor- I sought to do both because I am passionate about helping others find the healing that is available through the One who created us! Only He can bring the comfort and healing into our hearts. Many don’t realize the freedom that can come from seeking help through our trusted source of Truth, God’s love letter to us, the Bible. The suffering that comes through a myriad of things: our choices, the choices of others, divorce, abuse, and so many other hurtful things that can happen to us this side of Heaven, guess what? God has an answer to all of them!
Why should you donate? Though we are all called to help others, it is often not the right season for us to become involved in a ministry such as Healing Hearts, but we can always help by praying for those who are suffering as well as praying for those who are walking alongside them. We can also help by supporting the ministry financially. The donations we receive, in part, go towards helping to purchase study materials for our counselees as well as to help train new Healing Hearts leaders. We appreciate any amount!
