Homestay survivor

Out of life

For some time now, we have been welcoming a survivor into our home. The first big step towards real freedom that this person has made is a fact and we are allowed to be a part of it. How special that is!

The first few days the transition for this person was very big, but soon we see someone who becomes freer, who becomes more cheerful, who dares to express an opinion and starts to live.

The fact that the doors have to be locked, digital items placed in a safe, key-holders are not allowed to roam around and you can never just leave makes it take some getting used to at first, but seeing the process of freedom in action is really cool.

Thanks to the support of many others, we can do this, she can get the therapy she needs and we can give her a safe place. I hope that many more families, survivors who dare to take this step and financial resources will come, so that we can help even more people step into this freedom.

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!
