About the Founder
Time To Fly Foundation
(TTF) was founded in June 2001. It was birthed from the recognition
of a dramatic need seen by Michele Ruth Jones. After 20 years as a professional
in Corporate America, she retired to devote efforts to the vision and
development of Time To Fly Foundation.
While volunteering
at domestic violence shelters Ms. Jones realized 2 areas of need women
still face.
During your stay
in shelters, external wounds heal; yet the inflicted "unseen"
wounds of emotional damage, broken spirits and heart can last a life-time
unless they are addressed.
Due to limited space and funding shelters are primarily equipped to
aid only woman who endure physical abuse. What happens to the other
25% of women who endure emotional, verbal and psychological abuse? Sadly,
they suffer in silence as the internal devastation deepens; yet they
have no "proof" to offer. In reality, each of these women
is the "walking wounded" of our time.
In a supportive, non-judgmental/caring environment, the TTF program
offers restoration to the three dimensions of a woman's life-her body,
her soul and her spirit. TTF is a single source training provider in
rebuilding abused women's' lives.
Michele is well
aware of the unique needs of hurting women and their need for effective
tools to take them forward into a victorious life!
Her background includes
designing training programs, committee chairperson on civic and professional
associations, Women's Ministry Coordinator for past 17 years, and a
County Women's Shelter Volunteer.
Michele is the author of “Your
Call To Freedom!”- a practical interactive guidebook with
tools to heal from abusive relationships. It is uniquely designed for
both individual and small group discovery. She is a requested speaker
locally and across the country to various churches, women’s retreats,
domestic violence intervention forums and family strengthening conferences.
Having personally
experienced the effects of marital abuse; she triumphantly received
healing, hope and restoration through the transforming power of Jesus
Christ.
She experientially
knows the truth- “You intended to harm me, but God intended it
for good to accomplish what is now done, the saving of many lives.” |
