Let Go, Let Peace Come In

Let Go...Let Peace Come In Foundation has made a video on YouTube to tell people about their foundation and their mission to help adult survivors of sexual abuse. The video is 10 minutes long and gives some of the stats about child sexual abuse. There are also quotes from survivors and some pictures that survivors have submitted to their website including yours truly! My picture is at minute 6:28 of the video. It is a picture of me as a little girl wtih my dog!
The video is well done. So check it out! And please pass it on, too. The more people become educated about child sexual abuse, the more children we can save! This is for sure a pro-life issue. Want to know more about my own personal journey? Go to Surviving by Grace.

Colleen,
Thank you for posting this. In the 10 minutes it took to watch this there were countless faces. I couldn't help but think about how staggering the number of victims actually is. This is a wonderful organization and they are to be commended for their work, as are you for your courage and work to help other find healing.
I posted about the video on Daughter of the King. I put a link to your blog with the video instead of putting the video in my post because I really want people to visit your sites.
May God continue to bless you in your own healing, my friend.

Yes, they did a very good job. Tears are still streaming down my face as I write this. When I saw you and your dog my heart felt wrenched right out of my chest. You are a brave and wonderful woman, Colleen. God's peace be with you always and with all other survivors of abuse.

Karinann, I know. I think the video gave an estimate of more than 1 billion adult survivors in the world! 1 BILLION! Yes, I am impressed with this organization and what it is trying to do. Finally people are recognizing that there are adult survivors suffering and needing help.
Thank you for what you have done to help spread the word.

Mary, thank you for feeling so deeply about this and for your kind words. God bless.
