Why It’s Called ‘Safe Healing’

We created a safe, secure place that’s both non-judgemental and confidential. When you receive ministry, we want you to feel like you’re at home; a casual, comfortable space that you can be completely yourself in and openly share. This is your time... and we’re here for you! We make each ministry experience so personal to each person. When you feel that you’re in a loving and accepting environment, you are free to be open and honest and will be able to receive ministry more fully.

Why We Feel RTF Ministry Is Important

We want people to be encouraged that there’s hope! The process of Healing Life’s Hurts builds a new healthy foundation for your life and will give you the tools to continue your healing after your ministry sessions are over. This healing journey will transform your relationship with God and the way you see yourself and others. It will create new healthy beliefs, bring you profound healing and freedom, and change the trajectory of your life!

The Benefits Of Receiving RTF Ministry

Allowing God to heal us from life’s hurts is an important and needed process for every individual! We all have been impacted by the negative effects of sin, and it’s important that we expose the lies we may believe about ourselves, God and others, break the generational cycles and patterns of hurt and receive freedom from oppression. When we hold onto hurt and pain we feel the impact by closing ourselves off from healthy intimacy in relationships. We can react in ways that build walls, withdraw or shut down our emotions, become untrusting, isolate ourselves, and learn patterns of coping/control in order to self-protect from further hurt, rejection or shame. We unknowingly hinder our ability or capacity for intimacy/relationship with God as a result of that shame, fear and hurt. It is the reason why many Christians know ‘about’ God but have difficulty growing in a deeper relationship with Him or hearing His voice. RTF ministry will help bring a lasting healing to your heart and the ability to be open again and experience a healthy relationship with yourself, God and others.

• Know that God will always come through. He has been with us in our pain, loss and trauma. He is for you, not against you and fights on your behalf. We can speak openly and honestly to Him and share our deepest feelings, pain and emotions without fear. He will never be offended by our honesty and frankness; it’s ok to feel what you feel and there is no hurt that He isn’t willing to heal! Holy Spirit is so gentle in our healing to bring things up at our own pace. As we are willing to open up and allow His healing into our memories of pain and hurt, we will experience a trade and receive His incredible love and peace in its place.

• We are able to put the blame where it belongs. As believers, we may have thought at one point that it’s not possible for a Christian to experience demonic oppression, but in our lives we still recognize areas of bondage, lies of the enemy, temptation to sin, and the effects of generational patterns of sin, hurt and trauma. The truth is, Jesus gave us the keys to our freedom and brought us into the incredible new revelation of our oneness with Him! As believers, we need to receive that revelation by allowing him to heal our hearts and by stepping into and walking out that freedom.

• Understand that we don’t have to strive or do anything to ‘please’ God. Our relationship changes from ‘doing’ to just ‘being’, knowing that His love for you and your worth isn’t conditional.

• Receive the gifts of the Spirit and learn to live and operate from the overflow of his love and presence, not on an ‘empty love tank’.

• Experience God like never before! Discover God, Jesus and Holy Spirit more fully! Our Maker is a fun, happy God who loves to make you laugh.

• Discover your true identity and the freedom to be who you were created to be!

A Message From Claude & Yvonne:

What We Have Experienced & Witnessed Through RTF Ministry

Many christians can go all their lives being involved but not changed. We want everyone to be able to truly experience the deep love of the Father and have a relationship with God that shifts from a religion-based belief (My value is in what I do) to the godly truth about your identity and worth (I am valuable for who I am; I am unconditionally loved by God). We know just how important it is to experience God’s love and healing from life’s hurts because what you believe will dictate your life, decisions and relationships with God and others. These ‘ungodly’ beliefs are often hard to detect at first as they have been linked to our hurts and trauma as ways to self-protect, and we become accustomed to seeing life and relationships through the lenses of our pain. We’ve seen the effects of living a life based on these lies and we have heard countless people say, “Did I really believe that?” after receiving their healing because of how deeply God’s truth had healed that ungodly belief! We’ve also experienced how faithful, gentle and kind the Father is while healing hearts. Every experience is so personal; the Father is so intimately acquainted with his children and is always present, always loving and always comes through. We often say that God does “painless heart surgery so well!” He brings the healing where we need it. Instead of dealing with the symptoms of our hurt, He goes to the root of it and brings deep healing, freedom and transformation as a result. We get to experience first-hand the impact it has on each individual; their friends and family can see the positive effects of their transformation, and ministry receivers will often encourage their friends and family to go through RTF ministry as well because of their testimony of healing!

The biggest fundamental change that we see during and after ministry is that the receivers start to become so in-tune and sensitive to hearing God’s voice, and understanding their own self and needs post-ministry. They become so alert and find it easy to recognize ungodly lies that try to come up while walking out their healing. The healing process becomes a lifestyle! Each individual gains the tools they need to walk in their healing on a continual basis and deal with any future hurts/hardships. We have heard testimonies from individuals using the ministry tools (received during RTF ministry) to also help bring freedom within their families (One example being that parents have used the ministry tools to help their children overcome reoccurring nightmares). We constantly see people becoming more resilient and confident individuals, living in their true identity, and setting healthy boundaries for themselves and their relationships. When you go through ministry, you become more tender and careful with your own heart. You learn to guard your heart in a healthy way, that keeps you healthy and free from bondage! We’ve seen time and time again that people experiencing the love of the Father, and his profound healing causes them to love who they are and be excited about and enjoy life!

We become more open to the spiritual realm and learn to recognize God’s voice and receive ministry directly from Father, Jesus & Holy Spirit. The nature of our relationship with God is radically transformed when we encounter Him, and we begin to grow in awareness of the deeper things of God. As Christians, it’s essential to understand firstly who we are in our Father so that we build lives based on his unconditional love and delight in us, and gain our value from that fundamental truth.

The Father wants to reconcile with his children, so they understand the closeness of His heart. Being RTF ministers, our lives have been personally impacted by how God changes lives. We feel like we have a front row seat to all He is doing and we get to witness this transformative love and healing right before our eyes. It fills us too with a love and compassion for all people that overflows into every ministry session. Throughout our time in ministry, it’s become even more evident that even though our individual hurts and experiences may differ, we all experience the same struggles with shame, our own identity and self-worth. But God’s desire is to see us all set free & healed. He wants to restore our true nature and identity; our original design. He wants us to be happy and enjoy everyday of our lives because He cares about our wellbeing. He wants to bring to light everything that has been hindering us from knowing and experiencing His love and affection, and living in our oneness with the Father. It’s never too late to experience that love and receive healing for your life. We are so grateful to be a part of that journey into healing and freedom with you! You’ll never be the same!

In Love, Claude & Yvonne Dugas
