VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. -- U.S. missionaries have been spreading the gospel overseas since The Great Awakening. But now, a dark chapter in U.S. missions history is unfolding.
In recent years, four mission agencies have investigated their own employees for charges of child abuse in the field. Two more investigations are pending and more may be on the way.
MK Safety Net, a clearinghouse of information and support for missionary kids who were abused, says it's received reports from former missionary kids representing more than 20 denominations. the rest

The MK Safety net may be the only orthodox Biblical resource for children of sexual, physical, emotional abuse. I have not researched their site. Often children who were abused in church and family settings will not be able to relate to God as loving, healing, safe Father or to Scripture as a source of comfort and healing. They reject God, Church and often their identity as Man or Woman is damaged and confused and their understanding of family, sex as God designed it is distorted and defiled as well.
Most, if not all, of the victim advocacy groups are aligned with the American Catholic Council which is an umbrella for liberal, progressive, unbiblical unorthodox agenda groups, ie, pansexual rights, abortion, feminists, etc.
This is cruel. It is double traumatization. Instead of bringing people to The Healer, The Man, to be re-oriented and re-anchored in Truth, Love and Life, set free in Christ, they are brought back and bound to to the same decadence, defilement, evil and slavery to sin that wounded them in the first place.
