Review for Institute for Collective Trauma and Growth, Santa Barbara, CA, USA
I have had the privilege of supporting ICTG through fundraising by running/ training for and completing a 1/2 marathon. I have seen how this non profit is hands on with helping all churches work through and come to health after experiencing tragedy, traumas, and disasters. I have heard/read the personal stories from pastors who received the needed help from ICTG to get through and come out healthier. The needed specific tools was the only way they were able to survive and help their congregation back to health. There is no other organization in the US that does this so effectively and personally. ICTG is there for the entire journey of coming back with all support,help, tools, and encouragement needed.
As I trained for the 1/2 marathon I wrote letters to friends and family, asking for their support and donations in my name to ICTG. I kept them informed monthly of my progress and the needs of this ministry, and how their donations would be most effective. Pastors and leaders need ICTG at the worst most stressful time, without having the worry of paying. I so love how this organization's priority is help and survival. I am honored to be a supporter, and loved helping with fundraising.
