So poignant, Aghast. So true.
Each victim has a name.
EACH VICTIM HAS A NAME!!!!
Someone with great insight pointed out to me that when Christians place too much focus on the afterlife, they can become guilty of overlooking needs in the present life.
New Tribes Mission: Is this what we were guilty of?
Tribal people will face a Christless eternity IF: I admit that I have a sex addiction and should not be a dorm parent in an isolated mission school I keep my children in the village and home school them instead of spending full time in translation work I tell someone that I was molested as a child and I'm now acting out my fantasies on the little MK boys on the base I confess that I've been having sex with a high school girl who now thinks I love her and will marry her We dismiss this tribal missionary from the field and the mission for "inappropriate" touching reported by an MK We reveal to the world that a school base has become a toxic, sex-drenched pit of lies and cover-ups
And today, NTM: Are you still controlled by the fear that tribal people will suffer if you: Admit how many pedophiles have been members of your mission Contact MK victims and pursue full disclosure and restitution Allow sins of the distant past to be revealed, even if it means total collapse of NTM's revered reputation Publish the names of child abusers, dead and alive, past and present Apologize to victims for the cover-ups and move-arounds of their abusers that made those MKs feel unvalidated Stop letting lawyers stifle your voices and control your actions ... try letting the Holy Spirit lead instead Reach out instead of shutting down Shine the light of truth into long-locked closets instead of leaving the room
EACH VICTIM HAS A NAME.
EACH VICTIM HAS A NAME!!!
