Many women hide the secret of abortion deep in their hearts, and they are suffering severe consequences. They carry a great burden of shame and failure, afraid to reveal their hidden pain, and by doing so are forced to endure the long-lasting effects in isolation. Surrendering the Secret will allow women to release this burden and find freedom through "redemptive community," while experiencing hope and joy, as shame and failure are replaced with beauty.

If you seek to help women overcome the pain of abortion, then consider joining us for our "Surrendering the Secret" Leader Training Conference on September 19th, 2011.

  • Author Pat Layton, along with the STS National Training team will provide leadership training to help women heal from the heartbreak of abortion.

  • September 19th, 2011. Training takes place from 8:30 am until 4 pm and provides attendees with special tools and information to equip and enable them to offer Surrendering the Secret Recovery ministry one-on-one, or in churches, pregnancy resource centers and counseling/care ministries.

  • Cost is $100 per person. This includes the full day of training, supporting materials including support resources and marketing ideas, a listing on our Leader Locator, access to the Certified Leader Yahoo Group and e-letter, a certified leader notebook, and one STS leader book. Additionally, there is an option that includes all of the above plus an STS leader kit  (the kit includes 1 member book, 1 leader guide and supporting videos, which have a retail value of $150), for $175. Both training fees include continental breakfast, refreshments and lunch.
