For those who are interested or those who are ready my blog out of obligation, the retreat was a success. I find it hard to choose adjectives to describe a retreat on sexual abuse, so I will keep this to a minimal. Pastors and leaders were very moved and motivated to start informing, educating and working with their local communities on the topic. The majority of women who attended (around 50) and a few men spoke with our speaker or counselor about past abuse. For many of them it was the first time to voice their pain. Three support groups for survivors of sexual abuse will start this week!
Thank you for your continued support and prayers!
