to kari
I too am an abuse victim of a thirty year “super christian” marriage to a former NTM School graduate. I am the sister of a Field Representative and know many who are now or (MOSTLY) formerly with NTM as field missionaries and in field leadership or in administrative leadership in the states. <> I have felt this for at least 30 YEARS!!! The problems I could recount are too numerous too mention but COVER UP is the name of their game. The reverberant immorality and suffering is too big to measure. PERIOD. Indiviuals tied to NTM (currently or formerly) are seriously supportive of each other and others in Christian work who are “human.” NOWHERE is accountability a standard. It comes in many forms, mostly in vagueness to being human. IT SEEMS TO ALWAYS be someone else’s duty to forgive (scripture, scripture, scripture..) which must not be reasoned but immediate to be pure. The perpetrators and their filthy links of support, never deem repentance as NECESSARY or deem it as an offering. They grossly mis-enforce “Grace” and “Restoration”, or try to by demand and endless rhetoric tied to scripture (the abuse of it, that is).
At some point people have to refuse the interaction with NTM and its individuals to obtain clarity.
You are brave and doing a righteous, difficult, difficult thing. I am amazed at your strength and I support your ongoing efforts.
Kari, it is other fields, it is leadership, it is co-dependancy, it is NTM “friends” back in the states, etc……..

@ very concerned:

i understand that posts made on any public forum like facebook are considered public domain, but still the considerate thing to do is NOT re-post people’s words on websites on which they did not specifically want their words posted.

@ observer:

i am respectfully asking you to consider how you word your comments. put yourself in the shoes of these mk’s and try to imagine how that abuse must have felt…or if you have a daughter, try to imagine how you would feel if she endured something like this.

i do wonder how they can sleep at night…but not because of any “untruths” they may be stating…but because of the horror they endured. please be sensitive to that…

Oh, you may be interested in something I just received on FB. I put it on fandaeagles in case you missed it. And it was from a key person in NTM. Forget going somewhere else. I’ll copy it here.

I posted the petition asking people to sign it and I got this response…did she mean for me to shut up and be quiet???????? What do you think???

Patricia Ann Dillin Dye: I believe our Mission heads are doing all that they can to bring everything out into the open and are not hiding anything…Let them do what they have… promised to do….

Observer you need to be a little more observant. Read the documents to see what has happened. Kari didn’t invent this, nor did all the others who were abused.

@Observer Observer, I have NEVER posted on this blog but this one I felt needed to be addressed urgently! When you have a sixty-eight page report made by a qualified organization with endless testimonial truth, I think that would be enough to say, the truth is prevailing. God's Word states in, at least six places or more that a fact will be established only at the word of two or three witnesses. There are more than two or three in this whole issue. With proof after proof, witness after witness, there is no way one can say that this has been fabricated. Our family substituted Kari's family in the Budik tribe but we have never met her personally and, in the sixteen years I lived there, we never communicated with her. I did although, live under the circumstances her parents worked under. I lived in the same place, in the very house they built themselves, and with the same people. For sixteen years I pieced a story together about Kari and her family and I can guarantee you one thing, NOTHING she has said has EVER contradicted that story. I am a living witness. I can vouch for what you have said, “What’s true is true!”

@Observer Hello observer! I have fabricated nothing, and if you read this blog you can know what is true. Documentation proving the truth exists for your very own eyes to decipher and know.

Hey – what’s true is true – what’s not isn’t. Problem is lots of people don’t what you have fabricated and what you havn’t. Sleep must not be easy for you at times.

God is to be praised at how he is using you, his little lost sheep, that he left the other 99 for you, just so you could be at this place today. He is using you to help so many others and bringing justice that is well needed to so many wounded. You are a diamond in the rough that is becoming his jewel. May you shine brightly in the world of abuse as He leads you. God bless you!!
