Conceived in Rape

Here is a video by Rebecca Kiessling.  She was conceived in rape and has a bold ministry teaching others about the beauty of choosing life for children who are conceived in rape.  Here is her website if you want to find out more about her work.



Rebecca Kiessling (Conceived in Rape): "A baby is not the worst thing that could ever happen to a rape victim, an abortion is" (at 9:41 into the video).

Beloved, do you suffer from the after-effects of rape or abortion (panic, fear, escapism, sleeplessness, high blood pressure, emotional highs and lows, over-spending, thrill seeking, controlling behaviors, authority issues)?  ACE Overcomers can help you walk through the messy road of healing--one step at a time.  Call or email us today for more information.

New Workbooks

We are excited to announce that the ACE Overcomers workbooks are hot off the presses.  They are now available for purchase.  Please email Dave Lockridge (dave.lockridge@sbcglobal.net) if you would like to purchase some for your church or group.  He can assist you in purchasing those.  Leader Guides are ready as well; those can be purchased at Leadership Trainings. 

We are elated to bring these materials to churches in our local area.  Two additional churches in our local area have requested Leadership Training at their sites.  Dave and Jason are excited and prayerfully preparing for those upcoming trainings.  Join with us in prayer for these servants/leaders/teachers and the trainings that will go on at these sites. 

Joyfully,
ACE Team

Sexual Violence -- Early Age

The Center for Disease Control reported some recent findings on sexual violence.  The article states that 30% of rape victims are assaulted between the ages of 11-17.  Twelve percent were 10 or younger.  After the release of these findings it was stated that "prevention efforts should start early."  You can read the article here:
