Several people wrote to me and said they did not like it that I said dam well I am not a preacher butt those MKs over on Fanda eAgles are enough to make anyone swear even a preacher but I know we should show more retrain and watch the words of our moth unless we want to be just like the little piss ants that keep whining and caring on so I am sorry I cussed.
Also I what to thanks all the people who wrote to tell me that they argee that NTM should ass the judge to dismiss the suets and christian should not soot one another so thanks to both of your for writing. We are all preying that this will end sooner the better and it is high time you got your harts right with the lOrd.
I hope that Befused and Ironfan and Radioscrap and Slimey and the rest will now stop it and get a grip and just let it go and learn to forgive and not be bitter little shits no wonder you had a hard time in MK school. Dam.
Sorry I lost control again. Its a good thing I am not a paster.
I have just completed the reading of one of the most shameful, shocking and disturbing reports for a Christian organization. It is the GRACE report (Godly Response to Abuse in the Christian Environment) to New Tribes Mission “for the investigatory review of child abuse at New Tribes Fanda missionary school” in Senegal. The systematic abuse took place in the 80’s and 90’s against Missionary Kids (MK’s) while at this school.”
ReplyDeleteThe introduction to the report states that “In the 1980’s and the 1990’s, New Tribes Mission (NTM) operated a boarding school in the village of Fanda, in the country of Senegal. The children of missionaries were housed at this school, sometimes over the strong objections of their parents. The workers NTM placed in charge of these children were often cruel and many of the boys and girls placed there endured sexual, physical, emotional, and spiritual abuse. Much of this behavior was criminal.”
As if this abuse were not enough, NTM systematically ignored the issue even when they were alerted to the abuse taking place. The field council in Senegal kept abusive personnel in the school even after complaints from children and parents. They downplayed allegations and did not alert the executive leadership in the United States. When the executive leadership in the US was made aware they did not alert authorities, allowed abusers to remain in NTM and hushed up serious (criminal) behavior they were made aware of. The GRACE report suggests that NTM placed the evangelization of the unsaved above the safety, protection and best interests of MKs. In some cases years went by before NTM was willing to even address the concerns of parents to say nothing of the abused children.
The cost to these MK’s of NTM in Senegal has been immense. While some have continued in their faith, others will have nothing to do with Christianity as much of the abuse was perpetuated in the name of Christ like the abuse by priests in the Catholic Church. Many are deeply bitter at NTM for the hypocrisy of ignoring the sin in their own organization. Like all those who have been victims of sexual, emotional or physical abuse, all of these kids (now adults) live with scars that will never be completely healed. As the report says, three generations have been deeply wounded and scarred by this abuse.
Were you educated in a missionary school or home schooled?
