Information evenings and mini-course

At an information evening, we will be happy to tell you about the basics of what srm means, what survivors need to achieve freedom and recovery and our commitment to them. 

The mini-course will then help you if, after the information evening, you consider getting involved with survivors from within your capabilities, as a volunteer at Friends of Esthers. In two evenings, we go one step deeper, discuss case studies on how a network (cooperates) and there is extra space for questions.

Then, in a personal introductory meeting, we can consider together in more detail whether and in what way it suits you to participate within Friends of Esthers; and what further support you need in doing so.

You are welcome to come yourself and bring someone along. Please register via the contact page on Lichtoplevens.nl ('register meeting'). After registration, you will receive the exact address.
The dates are:

  • Tuesday, 7 October: Information evening Amsterdam.
  • Tuesday 25 November: Information evening for churches in Amsterdam, download here the invitation letter
  • Tuesday 2 and 9 December: Mini course Amsterdam (The second date is a continuation of the first date)

The world of survivors was totally unknown to me. I have great respect for their courage and perseverance when I hear about their bizarre experiences. How vulnerable and special that they want to share this with me personally! I really appreciate that we can open our home for encounters.

Being there unconditionally is the key

I have been touched in my heart by the injustice done to so many; I want to stand for the truth and for God's justice to prevail.

Survivors of SRM need what every human being needs: sincere love, a heart that listens without judgement and lasting connection. Even the deepest parts, those who had to murder and rape, then dare to speak. How many victims will break free from their lifelong slavery if they receive 10 such friends?

It is a privilege to pray for survivors, regularly and at key moments. And also for their families, if they are still in the cult. That is my contribution to their liberation and I experience that in this way I can help God's light to shine on their lives. As a Christian, I thus take my place in God's Kingdom and in the heavenly realms.

What a new, dark world opened up for me in 2020. Too bizarre to be true, until I started to listen and read critically and openly. I now find it a privilege to support therapists and survivors, so that the Light of Jesus overcomes the deep darkness.

I give my hands to help and my heart to love.

It is a privilege to experience a survivor. But it is an even greater privilege to be able to do your modest part to support the survivor to really live.

No one can do it all alone.... That is why I want to mean something for others. My name Tikva means HOPE ... and there is hope for everyone!
