Ministries & Outreaches – Community

Embrace Life

Post-Abortion healing & recovery workshops for any female who has had or is thinking of having an abortion. These workshops take place in a safe, secure, and private home. The address is known only to those who participate any particular weekend.

Ministry Focus:

• Begin the healing process of past abortions
• To understand and experience God’s forgiveness and be able to forgive ourselves
• To develop support and confidentiality among females who have similar pasts—women we can share information with that we couldn’t share with others
• Biblically based
• Time to experience God’s amazing grace

Due to the privacy and confidentiality of this subject matter, you can obtain further information and details by calling 867-6543 or via .

We are currently developing a study for men who struggle with feeling alone in their guilt, shame, and unforgiveness after some type of participation in abortion. If you are interested in this ministry, please respond via .

Words of Freedom – an Outreach of Pure Word for Substance Abuse

Pure Word Ministries began in February 1987 out of an answer to prayer and a desire to have a meeting focused on Jesus Christ, and to acknowledge His ability to set individuals free from bondage to sin and fear. Our ministry is to serve those who desire to be free from a life of bondage to sin. This includes behaviors termed "diseases" or life-controlling problems in today’s society. We don’t focus on the past and what we were like but rather on what our Lord is presently doing in our lives. Focusing on the past causes us to boast in things that were and are unprofitable and also causes us to compare ourselves with each other.

Our meetings consist of "continuing steadfastly in God’s Word, fellowship, breaking of bread and prayer for one another." The truth of God’s Word, the Bible, will be the ultimate authority for the existence and activities of Pure Word Ministries. All are welcome to attend Pure Word meetings as long as they agree to hold in strict confidence all that is shared. All that is needed is a Bible, a pen, and paper to write down scriptures and notes. As individuals, we have found our faith, hope, and love complete in Jesus Christ. It is Jesus Christ who has given us the authority through the Holy Spirit to overcome and conquer all sin and fear that would hold us in bondage.

Pure Word Ministries office is located at the Franklin Business Park: 226 S. Cole Rd., Boise, ID 83709.
