Our Journey

  • 1988

    judi-noble-founder.jpg

    Since her abuse in the 1970’s Judi Noble started dreaming of a ministry for women coming out of abuse.

  • 1990

    In 1993, Judi received a prophetic word about God giving her a women’s ministry in her 50’s. The image was a mother eagle feeding baby birds. In the image, Judi had the number eight on her back, representing new beginnings. The following year, she went to Alaska and received another word about starting a ministry. God gave her the scripture Isaiah 40:31, and the name “Eagle’s Wings” as two Eagles flew overhead. During the next five years she began the process of starting a nonprofit, obtaining the 501c3 exemption status, and forming the Board of Directors.

  • 2000

    In 2001, Eagle’s Wings hosted its first “Love Does No Harm” seminar and began offering support groups, with 35 women attending the first group. Eagle’s Wings continued to expand support groups and mentoring services including the conception of a codependency group.

    Eagles Wings is entering an exciting new chapter. With Tawni stepping in as Executive Director, the organization is embracing a fresh vision and renewed energy — built upon the incredible foundation laid by Judi's years of faithful and dedicated work. New groups and events are launching nationwide, mentorship teams are forming to ensure survivors always have someone to answer their call, and the reach of this mission is growing. The heart remains the same; the impact is expanding.

  • The Future

    Looking Ahead the vision for Eagles Wings reaches far beyond our borders. We are working towards a future where support groups, survivor workshops, and events exist in every state — and where our message of hope and healing extends to international communities around the world. Domestic violence knows no boundaries; it crosses every culture, country, and community. Through conferences, training events, and an ever-growing network of advocates, Eagles Wings is committed to meeting that need wherever it exists.

EaglesWings brings hope and healing to survivors of domestic violence and abuse in all its forms — emotional, financial, and psychological. We advocate, educate, and empower women to discover their true value and worth, providing physical, emotional, and spiritual support to those seeking freedom and restoration. We believe every person deserves to be treated with dignity, honor, and respect, and we connect survivors to the community resources they need.

Eagles Wings equips community leaders to support women in abusive relationships through the Love Does No Harm curriculum — a safe, empowering support group experience designed to help women overcome domestic violence. We serve with compassion and honor Jesus in all we do.

Our vision is to break the generational cycle of violence in families across our nation and around the world, so every person can experience true peace in the love of God.

Below, our Executive Director shares her story — as a survivor and the driving force behind Eagles Wings — and why she is passionate about bringing hope to women who are hurting. She is equally passionate about equipping leaders in churches and places of worship to recognize the signs of abuse, respond with compassion, and walk alongside those in their congregations who are suffering in silence.
