The name “Rapha” signifies healing in Hebrew.

 

The Rapha Project is a ministry seeking to equip churches in Québec to prevent and respond to domestic violence. Our team also accompanies and refers victims and survivors to appropriate resources in order to aid their healing journey. 

​

This ministry was born out of the Rapha Study, a community-based participatory research that Christian Direction coordinated from 2021-2024, studying the prevalence of domestic violence within the Church in Québec and the response of Christian communities to this issue. 

The study produced 3 reports and a list of 21 recommendations to better respond to domestic violence. 

​

We are convinced that to reveal is to begin to heal.
