September 2023 - Additional newsletter Friends of Esthers

We have some special news and we would like to make this known. For about 1.5 years, a team within Friends of Esthers has been thinking about how to help s.r.m. survivors even better. Safe shelter for survivors and living together with some families in a nice location became a heart's desire. The team [...]

No 7. Week of prayer, Halloween and St Martin's Day 2023

A Gideon's army: prayer letter around satanic ritual abuse Psalm 89:15 'Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne, goodness and faithfulness go forth before You'. God's throne is built on justice and right: that's how important law and justice are to God. His throne would falter if God compromised or turned away from perfect [...]

Helping survivors during cult nights

Over the past year, we have been digitally available to survivors during some cult nights. During these nights, they can email us, we send encouragement and we can forward prayer requests to our prayer groups who also pray through these nights. During cult nights, it is harder for survivors to realise that it is better not to return to the cult [...]

Blog by Myrjam

For several months now, I have been involved in Friends of Esthers. In this, I have direct and indirect contact with survivors of satanic ritual abuse. To outline a brief profile: survivors have been able to build (almost) no relationships of trust throughout their lives, even with close family members. Often their trust in counselling agencies and [...]

Information and equipment

There is little awareness of satanic ritual abuse (SRM), dissociative identity disorder (DIS) and everything that comes with it. Victims run directly into this: they often end up in the wrong places for help, getting stuck in their exit process. We also want offenders and those around them to be properly informed about the reality and [...]

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!
