Sexual abuse: Helping the church recognize and respond to victims
Tóm tắt
Sexual abuse victims can be members of churches which serve people in many ways, yet some of these victims are unable to report the abuse to a church leader or other members. In the church's efforts to understand and meet needs in the world today, helping victims of sexual trauma is part of God's work to touch lives through ministry in His church. Whether these victims are children or adults, the church can play an active role in recognizing and meeting needs of sexually abused persons.
