Thank you for your interest in offering an After the Boxes Are Unpacked study for women who are new to your community!
An After the Boxes Are Unpacked study is an excellent way to reach out to women experiencing the loss and loneliness of a move. They are eager to make friends and to be connected within a community like yours. During a move, emotions are raw and hearts are inclined to the Lord more than ever as women seek direction and meaning in their lives.
After the Boxes Are Unpacked is a study that addresses a woman’s emotional struggles and the opportunities for spiritual growth as she starts over in a new community. It is based upon the book, After the Boxes are Unpacked, by the Founder of Just Moved Ministry, Susan Miller. A seasoned mover and popular speaker, Susan shares the biblical principles she learned as a result of her 14 moves. The study is designed for 12 sessions, but can be adapted to suit your needs.
The study takes women through the important stages necessary for a successful move: letting go of the past, starting over in a new community, and moving ahead with a new life. Not only does the study prepare, encourage, and equip a woman for the emotional and spiritual strain of such a major life change, it provides a wonderful way for women to make the friends and community connections they long for. Upon completion of the class, many women go on to serve in other capacities within the church.
Since 1995 this Bible study has been offered wherever women find themselves brand new and starting over: churches, military installations, homes, seminaries, missionary organizations, and corporate settings around the world.
The study is available in two formats.
1. 3-disc, 12-session Video Series. Watch Susan Miller as she leads a group through the After the Boxes Are Unpacked study. A Facilitator Guide is included to help a facilitator lead the discussion following each viewing.

For each format it is highly recommended that each group member has a copy of After the Boxes are Unpacked and a Newcomer Study Guide that accompany the study, enrich the experience of each woman, and facilitate spiritual and emotional growth.

Just Moved Ministry picks up where the moving van drops off. Through their After the Boxes classes, marriages are strengthened during the stress of relocation, parents are equipped to help their children cope with a move, and women are given biblical principles and encouragement.

Susan is doing a tremendous job of helping women deal with the trauma of transition. Her material can help anyone who wants to move ahead in a healthy way after they have experienced a move or major adjustment. I highly recommend her workshops and materials.
