I too share my brother's disgust, survivor!!!! I find myself wide awake and utterly disturbed!!! Once again a clear case of where the pedophile becomes the victim!!!!!!!! Unbelievable!!! Trust me, Steve's letter only confirms his twisted and depraved frame of mind.

It's amazing how the pity party comes through loud and clear when you read his letter. I am so sorry that you even had to read that.

On behalf of my family, please know that you have our full support!!

Survivor,

We are standing with you. I am so sorry you are having to do battle with someone who is still alive and breathing and, apparently, still lying.

People who abuse children, statistically, will always abuse children. Of course Steve is repentant. Any married man who is caught "feeling up" young girls has some sense of shame and regret. Anyone who is on the mission field will know how to spiritualize the situation. The fact of the matter remains, he has never received therapy for his deviant behavior, and if he had, his repentant posture would be one that said, "I am a child abuser. I am by God's grace not abusing anyone right now, but I know that on any day, given the right circumstances, I could abuse again. Given my sinful nature that has devasted so many around me, I will remove myself from being involved in ministry and devote myself to doing what I need to do to show the ones whose lives I have devasted that they are more important, than my "role" as a missionary. Instead of causing division and divisiveness in my family, I will choose to be the peacemaker. I will go the extra mile to restore relationships in my extended family divided by my continual lying, cheating, and dishonoring of my wife. I will not make people choose to side with me or my victims. I will tell my family that I have no rights to anyones love, and that I choose to do whatever my victims ask of me in order to give them closure on this matter. I will gladly stop defaming my Lord's name, by claiming to be a truth proclaimer, when in reality, I am more adept at division and lying. I will submit to the authorities, and pay for the crimes I have committed against innocent children. By God's grace, I will live without touching any more children, but I will always admit I am a sinner who constantly needs accountability and help...and the mission field is not a place I can receive that help." That would be the heartcry of a truly repentant sinner.


I could not even read the entire letter written, I was so angry that this man's daughter feels the need to be transparent and make things right, and his main focus in a "Prayer Letter" is accusing others of persectution.

His own daughter is trying to atone for his sins...does anyone see how sad, sick and twisted that is? Where is his effort to be transparent? Who cares if everyone sides with him or agrees with him? As long as his victims are not acknowledged and restitution is not made he does not deserve a voice.

Survivor, you have a storm headed your way...but you have been prayed for for years...and you will be upheld through this next gale. We are here to stand with you...only wish we could protect you from being abused all over again by this man and his "darkened" mind.

Again, I am so sorry that you were abused as a child...and continue to be as an adult. Thank you for telling the truth.

Momof4, you said it all so well and with much spiritual wisdom. I support this truth.

Survivor,

I don't know you, but I am praying for you. I pray for grace for you and LOTS of strength. This is beyond believable, in my book.

How can anyone say what her intention was? It was sad that it was posted but I think she really believes her dad is changed and believes his stories. I feel sorry for the pain she has had to endure because of her dad. She is a victim too and like alot of victims is in denile.
