@Emet I will not let this go, come clean New Tribes, besides the sexual assualts, what about the years of censoring of mail of the children, it's clear it was done so that abusers could keep the children from telling their parents what was going on. How tragic, missionaries send their children to "safe" "missionary boarding schools" that are staffed with pedophiles or control freaks. Please, if you truly believe that the Bible is true and God's Word then do what is right according to scripture, not lawyers.

I cannot get this off my mind. This was supposed to be a “cutting edge missions organization, the reaction of the leadership shows that though there are certainly sold out servants for Christ in the field there is something very wrong in leadership. May our Lord protect those with integrity serving our Savior and dismiss those covering the sins as if God does not know.

I just found out about these horrific stories of abuse this morning from a New Tribes MK. I must say this person’s parents still serve in the field and the whole family is in emotional turmoil.I myself have been full time missions for years and am sick as I read of this sick abuse and the unbiblical “protect thyself” response of the NT Current leadership. As a member of the body of Christ if the Leadership does not come clean in a Biblical manner by investigating, removing all “leaven” from the organization and giving counseling and financial assistance for those who suffered to help get thier lives in order then the Secular world and authorities will most likely do what leadership fails to do.

We cannot begin to express our deep sorrow, anger and disappointment that reading the GRACE report and your stories has brought us. Thank you for your persistence and courage. We will be praying for you especially tomorrow and in the days ahead.

@Dave Martin I think most of our parents felt this way. I don't think there are many parents that would deliberately put there kids in a bad place. I know I wouldn't! However, there are still parents out there who are putting there kids in boarding schools and will regret it later. i intend to tell them about what they are risking so that they can make the most informed decision they can, instead of blindly trusting NTM and what they have to say about there boarding schools (which is all positive so why not send your kids there?).

My parents deeply regret leaving us in a home. But i do hold it against them. they did because they thought it was the best way they could serve God.

@Catherine
Hi Catherine, are you still available? I’m trying to uncover some secrets in my family history and questions from my own past – and you might be really helpful to me. My family grew up at Prairie, and I graduated from there… If you have time, I’d love to be in touch with you. Thank you!

I’ve seen abuse in a boarding school AND we were also told that if we were bad or did something wrong, we would ruin my parents’ ministry and they would no longer be able to serve the Lord and would have to leave their work in the tribe. It always hung over our head…we would be the cause of their failer.

I am simply weak with sorrow after reading the Forum on Aritao. Grief and waves of nausea at the lives so changed by this repeated vicious crime.
