Presentation of book - I am Who? - to members of parliament

Today, Tuesday 4 February 2025, a delegation of Friends of Esthers presented the booklet "I Am Who?" to a number of MPs in The Hague. Gerard spoke, calling for compassion for s.r.m. survivors. He also made the case for an independent second opinion survey in the Netherlands and asked [...]

The cult with its tentacles

I never realised before how deep the opposition of the cult goes, until this moment. We experienced it now when buying a new house. Back then, when the current house was bought with the help of my in-laws, from whom we took out the loan, I had never considered [...]

Esther I don't want!

At the invitation of friends, my wife and I went along to an introductory evening around what has been neatly named Sadistic Organised Abuse* in the House of Representatives. The abbreviation is SRM. We were there because there is a group of people who want to provide a safe haven for victims of SRM. In a nearly one-and-a-half-hour [...]

Colliding worlds - survivor and networker

I have now spent years walking intensively with survivors of srm and it is harrowing to realise more and more what an incredibly complex world they live in. They have to function in two completely different worlds. One world of absolute hierarchy and obedience, where every 'mistake' is ruthlessly punished; a world that constantly sends the message [...]

Hoeve de Binnentuin

Good news! All the lights are green for the purchase of De Hoeve! Read the latest status and what is still needed here. More information...

Atrocities by Hamas...

An apt post on facebook by Last Call Mission: Many people have been stricken by the terrible reports of Hamas' monstrous practices. Babies being beheaded, women being raped, people being burned alive. It is too terrible to comprehend. Tragically, many people do not realise that these hideous practices are also taking place here [...]

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 [...]

Infiltration at my work

Introduction by Friends of Esthers: The story below is a sketch of an event of the daughter of someone who intensively helps a person in need. The daughter is a brave, strong woman, who is increasingly experiencing God's guidance and protection. We know the family and the aid applicant, but we cannot check all the facts, yet we put [...]

Dormant fear?

As a child, I often saw people looking up. Their eyebrows would raise, they would look back at the person they were in the car with, for example, and they would disappear from sight. They could see that I was in the back of the car with a naked upper body in the middle of winter with a man at the wheel who couldn't possibly be my father in terms of age. It was seen, it was found odd and there stopped a remarkable thought in someone's head.... or not?

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!
