5 Years Ago and 5 Weeks Later (AZTIFC) –  The 4th Annual Building Resilient Church Conference

As the founder of The Faithful City, I also founded Arizona Trauma Informed Faith Community (AZTIFC) five years ago. It was out of my life with a traumatic season and powerful healing journey with trauma informed care (TIC) that includes my faith tradition and practice. AZTIFC has been in an exponential growth as a grassroots movement, collaborating with all other social sectors to build a trauma informed community in the State of Arizona. The movement was reported and blogged many times including the PACEs Connection article two years ago.

The global community has been tremendously suffering from the collective trauma with the covid virus pandemic. In the States, we also went through a national crisis and socio-political unrest with racial and historical trauma. I blogged with the statement on behalf of AZTIFC, facing deep sorrow and traumatic reactions from the community.

Despite all the challenges and struggles, AZTIFC and the movement advanced every day. I am so grateful for God’s unconditional love and his divine presence. Words are not enough to express my appreciation for the mentors and colleagues with their sacrificial collaboration and exceptional expertise in the movement.

Thousands of people were influenced. Hundreds of trainings and presentations were provided. Numerous organizations have been on the journey with trauma informed cultural change and leadership development. I am launching a faith committee with several national leaders at Campaign for Trauma Informed Policy and Practice (CTIPP) this month.

Five weeks later, The 4th Annual Building Resilient Church Conference will be held on Friday, February 11 at Pure Heart Church in Glendale, Arizona. Dan Steffen (Senior Pastor, Pure Heart), Brenda Cochran (Director of Counseling, Pure Heart), and I, as co-founders of the conference, invite you all to this impactful hybrid conference with local and national leaders. Please join us and be a co-journeyer in the movement.

Rev. Sanghoon Yoo, MSW, MDiv.
