I have always been encouraged and challenged by women who have a passion for something. On the issue of violence against women and children there are some incredible advocates. But I have noticed in resent days the Christian community doesn't have many outspoken, daring advocates for this issue - their are plenty for the pro-life movement, teen pregnancy, even for the neglect of children - but finding Christians that will speak out against an abuse that effects women in EVERY area of their life for the rest of their life, those people are few and far between. But I have found one brave soul!!
Back in November I found a book that became a catalyst for Engage-Reality and a wake-up call in my personal life. The book is called "Stop Acting Like a Christian, Just Be One." The author is Christine Caine. We now refer to her as just "Chris" in our household! Chris is one of the few Christ-following advocates for sexual violence, a survivor herself, she saw a need and could not ignore it. That is what makes a great advocate.
Please take a moment to learn about A21, the overwhelming epidemic of sexual trafficking, and if you feel led, I encourage you to partner with Chris to make a difference in the lives of these women and children.
Those that have ears, let them HEAR-

The Women of the Democratic Republic of the Congo
For several years I have been learning of women and children who have survived unspeakable horrors from their own government in the DR Congo. This week I have committed to join hundreds around the world to pray for the specific needs of those living in this region. Many of us have seen the movie Hotel Rwanda and have heard of the ongoing genocide in the Darfur region; we are not ignorant to the evils that prevail in our world. But the stories of the DR Congo are often kept silent.
The DRC is the richest nation in natural resources but the poorest in human rights. For 10 years the region has been in civil war. And a weapon of war that has been used for centuries - sexual violence - is rampant. Armed groups daily attack villages - looting, brutally raping, kidnapping women and children forcing them to become "bush wives" or sex slaves. The rapes are so brutal many women and children must be repaired. The Panzi hospital has become a beacon of hope for thousands. Last year it was estimated that 4,000 women were treated for complications stemming from rape, mutilation and disease, this year those numbers are growing. Please join with me in praying for these women and children as young as 2.
I encourage you to visit an encourage website www.congocast.org - here you can find specific prayer needs, and see episodes of 2 American women that have given up everything to spend a year in the DRC to minister to women and children. Their stories are amazing and encouraging. Please take the time to see at least one episode, it will bless you - then take a moment of your prayer time to remember our sisters suffering at the hands of violence.
Awareness leads to change -

Salt and Light
It is hard to fathom if you are living through hell on earth that everything happens for a reason, but it does. That thought never crossed my mind in the moments of my abuses. Back then my thoughts could not go to such hopeful places. But they do now. I call that time in my life the dark zone. To know me then you would not have ever guessed that I was a victim of sexual abuse. I was outgoing, energetic, funny, made decent grades, and on my way to college. But alone in the dark I looked very different. There I was plagued by doubts, desperation, confusion and shame.
I believe the road to healing from sexual abuse is as painful, if not more so, than the incident itself. In the beginning of that journey my path crossed some well-meaning Christians that would often tell me to pray. Of course I was already doing that, and then they’d say I wasn’t praying hard enough. I was beginning to think that I didn’t know the secret God-code or something. I became bitter. At the time I was surrounded by Christians, who are supposed to be the salt of the earth, but I was decaying. You see, salt is more than flavoring or seasoning. We hear that a lot as an illustration for Christians, but salt is also a preservative. (Jesus was familiar with this as it was used on meats to it restrict bacterial growth.) So when we read, you are the salt of the earth, should we see ourselves as a preservative, having the ability to protect something from decay? YES.
We live in a world full of reasons that make people bitter. Some people have experiences that they inevitably lose parts of themselves, they begin to decay. As Christians we must pass the salt. Rabbis used salt as a symbol for wisdom. As I look back, many Christians I came in contact then really wanted to help but they lacked the wisdom. They just didn’t know how to help. But that should never be an excuse. Christians, if someone chooses you to share a struggle with – it is okay to admit you don’t know the answers, pray with them, and educate yourself. Jesus instructed us to be salt, that may take effort but the resources are available.
Were you ever afraid of the dark as a kid? I can remember the calculated moves it took to turn off the light and make it into bed with a single jump - defeating the monster under the bed! And if you were still afraid, the flashlight would make everything okay again. Now, in my 30’s, I still see how light makes everything okay. Keeping parts of our lives in the dark can haunt us. Light makes everything feel different. In the light, we see things as they really are. “God is light and there is no darkness in him at all” (1 John 1:5), has always brought me a sense of peace. God’s not afraid of the dark; to Him it doesn’t even exist. So what did that mean for me in my dark zone? It wasn’t dark to Him. I know that causes anger in some, pain in others – “Why didn’t God do something if He saw it happening?” There are probably thousands of answers to that question; I’ve heard some well-intended attempts. I don’t claim to know the answers. But I have asked that question too, for me that answer lies in the faces of every survivor I have spoken with. To look into their eyes and know there is a unity, a connection, even if I just met them. I went through the hell because one day I would met them and I had something to give back. That is not a God-complex, but it is because of God’s goodness I can comfort someone else.
God being light is not a bad thing. Think about the alternative - I don’t want a God that is in the dark! Jesus didn’t take the light away when He left this world; He passed that to us too. Being God’s light-bearers isn’t just about salvation, but it is about “holding the light” for others (see Marcus’ blog). It is about passing on the Good News of hope, freedom, joy, contentment, peace, truth…
Bad things happen to people. Every 2 and half minutes a woman is raped. 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys are sexually abused by their 18th birthdays. Those facts are reality and that can be overwhelming. More Good News…justice is a foundation of God’s throne (Psalm 89:14) And we are to be salt and light. Christ-followers aren’t afraid to use a little salt, and I am no longer afraid of the dark!
Be salt and shatter the darkness -

Small Things Change the World!
I saw good news last night on TV. That was such a rarity I thought it needed to be blogged!! But before there is good news, there must be the bad.
• More than 5,000 children are dying every day as a result of water-borne disease.
• Millions of Africans lack access to clean water.
• The lack of clean, accessible drinking water is the second largest worldwide killer of children under five.
Our neighbors across the world are suffering. I heard someone recently ask “Why should we worry about people across the world when America has so many needs of its own?” I have two answers for that. One…because we CAN. God’s blessed us and we should give it away. Two… I had to answer the question with a question, “So exactly what are you doing to help with domestic needs?” No response, not surprising.
Okay, where is the good news in that? So glad you asked! Americans have exactly what it takes to bring clean water to our global neighbors…CASH and CREDIT. This week area businesses are helping us to Engage in this Reality. In simplistic, yet creative way you can help be the difference between life and death for children just by going out to eat. This week restaurants are asking patrons to pay $1 per glass of water as a donation to The Tap Project, an effort by UNICEF to bring clean drinking water to children in countries where a cup of safe water is often a luxury. How awesome is that!?! Even if you prefer tea or soda, which is usually $2 in restaurants, splurge a little (you are American, we are good at that) and buy yourself a nice cold, clean glass of water. A small action can go a long way. In this project, $1 provides one child with safe drinking water for 40 days!!
Bottled water in America is now a $4 billion a year business. And most of us are blessed to have clean tap water everyday. It is easy to take that for granted. We give thanks before we eat, but what about before we drink our single most bountiful resource.
So the next time you take a drink of water, thank God for it and pray for those without it. You can make a difference. Below are the restaurants in our area that are participating (I hope there will be many more next year!) and websites that give you more information on this issue.
Be aware and make a ripple!!

Just One More Fan
Every so often, maybe once or twice a year, I hear God calling me out. Of course, I believe He is constantly calling or speaking to me but somehow I miss his voice most of the time. When this happens, I get really passionate about Him and my life. I start reading books on apologetics, theology, Christian philosophy, and the Bible. I start seeing God in people, places and things I never saw Him in before. I become acutely aware of my sin and I marvel at His grace. How does He do that? How does He forgive me after all I do all the while ignoring Him. I start writing about Him, talking about Him, I even start to mean the songs I sing for and about Him. I start loving people I never even noticed before. I start thinking about tithing, serving, and sharing my faith with the world around me in some tangible/meaningful way. I start wondering what He really wants from my life. It’s a little overwhelming. I work myself into a fever. And then it happens, (you know what’s coming don’t you) nothing, nothing, that’s what happens. I crash and burn and turn into a big heaping pile of apathy. I lose it, the fire, the enthusiasm, the vim and the vigor. Why? Why? What about personal commitment? What about perseverance? What about “I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me”? Am I forever relegated to a life of spiritual ADD?
I think, for me, knowing Jesus has been largely an intellectual pursuit. That doesn’t necessarily mean that I have no emotional investment, I do, but I analyze and reason myself to Jesus more than I engage Him intimately. I am essentially a fan. Yeah, I am a fan of Jesus. I read His blog to see what He’s thinking about, I watch His segment on ET to find out what he has been wearing and what whether or not He’s been in rehab recently. I watch Him on the Barbara Walters special and wait with baited breath for that one deep, probing question. You know the one that’s going to bring Him to tears. I buy bumper stickers with His name or something cleverly lifted from scripture written on them. I buy one of those “fishy” symbols to put on my car. I buy books that reduce His words to a seven, ten, or twelve step program to “personal, spiritual, health and/or financial” fulfillment. I add Him to my Myspace page and watch the “Sermon on the Mount” on Youtube. I vote republican no matter what because everyone knows that Jesus is a republican. If I am feeling particularly “spirit-filled” I’ll boycott something, you know like the newest children’s book that’s not a sophisticated allegory for all things “christian”. I could go on and on with examples “Fan–atism” but I won’t. Where does this leave me? Why, with more questions of course.
What if, instead of learning more “about” Jesus, I actually spent more time “with” Him? What if I read His words and obeyed instead of searching for theological or philosophical insight? What if I became a disciple instead of a fan? What does that look like? What would this cost me?
Luke 14:25-35 (The Message)
Figure the Cost
25-27One day when large groups of people were walking along with him, Jesus turned and told them, "Anyone who comes to me but refuses to let go of father, mother, spouse, children, brothers, sisters—yes, even one's own self!—can't be my disciple. Anyone who won't shoulder his own cross and follow behind me can't be my disciple.
28-30"Is there anyone here who, planning to build a new house, doesn't first sit down and figure the cost so you'll know if you can complete it? If you only get the foundation laid and then run out of money, you're going to look pretty foolish. Everyone passing by will poke fun at you: 'He started something he couldn't finish.'
31-32"Or can you imagine a king going into battle against another king without first deciding whether it is possible with his ten thousand troops to face the twenty thousand troops of the other? And if he decides he can't, won't he send an emissary and work out a truce?
33"Simply put, if you're not willing to take what is dearest to you, whether plans or people, and kiss it good-bye, you can't be my disciple.
34"Salt is excellent. But if the salt goes flat, it's useless, good for nothing.
"Are you listening to this? Really listening?"
Am I listening? Is this what Jesus has been trying to tell me all along?
I think I’ll take a walk and invite Jesus to come along. Wait, He has already sent the invitation to follow Him. I guess I should just do that.

A Hero and Survivor
The story of teenager, Elizabeth Shoaf, was told on Dateline tonight. Her story speaks of the reality of pure evil in our world and the strength to overcome it. I am always moved to hear how others survive sexual assault. Each story in someway pushes me to advocate more. There is so much out there that often doesn't support them - our justice system, myths, stereotypes, media, even family and friends. I will blog more on this issue later, but for now I wanted to share with you a true survivor. Elizabeth proves the strength and resilience of kids - we adults can learn a lot from her.
This story happened in South Carolina. Elizabeth's story is not the norm. Statistics show that only 10% of abusers in child sexual abuse cases are strangers. 90% of children are sexually abused by people they know and trust.

Hold the Light
Remember back when you where a kid, and your dad or mom, or anybody working on something. Trying to fix the drain maybe? Or installing the newest appliance? All the tools would be there, everything needed for the job. Your job was to be the assistant, to hand the next part or tool when needed and of course ask lots of questions, some being about the task at hand even. Maybe now you’re the one with the tools trying to fix the drain. Now you have an assistant to hand you the parts and tools.
If you are anything like me, you will still try to do it yourself, hands full of parts and tools - things in your pockets, under your arms, even between your teeth. But now you can’t even ask for help with things between our teeth, all you can do is mumble. Then comes the hard part…it is dark. No light. How are you supposed to get at this problem if you can’t see? Then you think - my hands are full, and so are my pockets, maybe if I move this thing out from under my arm I can hold a flashlight there! Now there is some light but it’s not where you need it. You still can’t see it or get your hands on it. I know… hold the light between your teeth that has to work, right? Nope, still can’t see! Then frustration sets in - I can’t do this! How can anyone do this? It is too dark! This is impossible! I give up.
You lay the parts and tools down, the flashlight too. Your assistant is there still asking questions reaches down, and picks up the flashlight. Then boom! There is light! Now you see the problem, and you have both hands free. Now you can focus on what needs to be done.
The whole time all you needed was for someone to hold the light. It was dark; your hands where full and you just needed someone to hold the light. You had an assistant the whole time but you where trying so hard to do this alone that you didn’t ask for help; for them simply to hold the light.
Sometimes we are the assistant. We see people struggling, their hands full and in the dark. We ask questions, some even questions about the task at hand. But do we ever hold the light? Do we reach down, without being asked, pick the light up and point it where it needs to be? Not on the ground and not in their eyes, but on the task at hand, where the work is being done.
Matthew 5:16 (Today's New International Version)
In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
