1987 the United States formally established March as National Women’s History Month (WHM). As a result, we celebrate and honor all the fantastic achievements and contributions of strong, determined women nationwide. The 2024 theme is “Women Who Advocate for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion,” recognizing past and present women who understood the need to eliminate bias and discrimination from our lives and institutions to achieve a better future.
 


This year, we recognize those women who have embraced everyone in their quest for freedom and opportunity. We salute women across the nation and the world who have paved the way in achieving equity, diversity, and inclusion.

Matthew 6:14-15: "For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins." - GOD

BIRTH OF A MINISTRY
After years of working with divorcees, Dr. Saunders noticed that many who were unforgiving were more ill and often could not complete programs such as Divorce Care in their recommended format. Many of these divorcees reported illnesses such as hypertension, arthritis, diabetes, and chronic back pain. While working on her doctoral degree, Dr. Saunders discovered evidence-based literature that documented the connection between unforgiveness and chronic back pain. The article led her to conduct more studies on this topic, and ultimately, she completed her research on forgiveness and health in Black divorcees - resulting in the peer-reviewed published article, “Can Christian Divorce Support Groups influence Forgiveness and Health Outcome in Black Divorcees: A Phenomenological Investigation” in the Journal of Divorce and Remarriage.

After publishing the article, Magon continued to build her knowledge in this area, but shortly afterward, she started feeling a call to start a ministry to help people to forgive. Already too busy to take on anything new, and not an ordained minister, Magon tried to resist this call for months and came up with several excuses regarding why this was not for her. But finally, in 2015, she surrendered and started this ministry as an inter-church program. This has allowed her to take the message of forgiveness across the U.S. and the world. Since then, Dr. Saunders and her team have developed courses, books, and other resources to assist individuals on how to forgive.

In 2018, Forgive for Health Ministries hosted its first annual conference, then filed for incorporation in the winter of 2019. The ministry aims to help individuals recover from life’s trauma and get them to move into a new life free from the burden of unforgiveness.


PROGRAM GOALS
1. To encourage health care providers to assess the forgiveness levels of all patients and to refer them to appropriate “caring’’ professionals or ministries

2. To help all individuals to forgive so that they can live free from the shackles of unforgiveness.

3. To implement trauma-informed care in African Americans and other minorities, so that they can “thrive”, thereby reducing health disparities.

4. Work to build awareness and the evidence-based for addressing religion, education, food insecurity, transportation, and other social determinants of health.

5. Serve as a bridge between faith communities and public health to improve population health.

*************************************************************

“Forgiveness isn’t just practiced by saints or martyrs, nor does it benefit only its recipients.” Instead, studies are finding connections between forgiveness, physical, mental, and spiritual health, and evidence that it plays a key role in the health of families, communities, and nations. Though this research is still young, it has already produced some exciting findings- and raised some important questions (Worthington, 2004)
