El Roi Ministries
EarthBasic's heart is to care for women who care for others. We are your sisters, commissioned by God, who have your back while you cover the backs of others. Our ministry has two arms: one which provides a combination of free and low cost Christ-centered self-care resources for women via our Be-Held Community and store, and another which collaborates with places of refuge to provide help to caregivers and their children. The latter arm is called El Roi Ministries, based on the account of Hagar's encounter with the Living God in Genesis 16. It has as its goals:
- To provide wholistic ministry to caregivers in places of refuge so that they may be empowered to sustain care for self as a prerequisite to caring for children who have experienced trauma, and in recognition of their inherent worth as persons for whom Jesus Christ died.
- To train caregivers to provide sustained care to children exposed to trauma, in a way that enhances children’s relationships with God, self and others.
Join us in taking care of women and children in places of refuge for the
2020 -2021 Year
