All God's Children

I am very serious about the subject of child abuse. This is not something I have a morbid fascination with or are flippant about. Most of the time the child abuse you hear about is physical and sexual. Children can also be emotional abuse and spiritually raped. Some of which I've experienced myself. I believe that this is all part of Satan's way of destroying the tender, loving, trusting spirit of a child to where they are incapable of trusting or believing in God, their great Father. It is one of the greatest tragedies the world knows.

Growing up we were incapable of coming to the aid of our friends who were being degraded, but now I'm an adult and I have a voice and I choose to use it. Each and every one of us have a voice and you must learn to use it when you see something happen that you believe to be an injustice. I love the quote:

"All that is necessary for the the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." Edmund Burke

I've seen a lot of good men do nothing in my lifetime and it's been people I called family. It's been my "aunts and uncles" of our mission.

So I stand with my friends who have suffered unimaginable pain and shame. I acknowledge their pain. I create awareness and hope to help break the taboo of hiding abuse and not talking about it. All of you out there are WORTH FIGHTING for. So I stand with you, and am honored to do so. You are great fighters and are hero's in my book.

If you care to watch this movie, it took place in Guinea, in a little boarding school called Mamou. It happened even before I was born. It happened to a different mission. But the abuse is very similar to what we experienced at Fanda Missionary Boarding school. All the way down to the way the brave missionary kids had to fight to be heard. I sat in horror and silence too numb to cry because so much of it was my "normal." This movie comes in 10 parts. You will find the next part at the bottom below the movie.
