Shelter to offer battered wives Christian counseling
A new 24 hour hotline opens for battered women with Christian counseling at a privately run shelter in West Frankfort. John and Cindy Andesilich, founders of New Direction Ministries Inc., plan a non denominational program grounded in Bible teaching to help restore families, with a two day to two week stay, mandatory donations, and strict rules. The shelter, supported by volunteers and freewill offerings, aims to serve 15 to 20 boarders and has already drawn interest from six women and local ministers.
