Poppy

Out of life

On this website, the poppy appears frequently, as a kind of image carrier, because a number of characteristics of the poppy, we see back in victims / survivors of SRM:

The poppy needs light (from God) and warmth (from people) to come alive after the cold period of winter (life in the cult). Poppies close up for a while when it gets dark, but with new light they open up again.

Poppies germinate especially in disturbed, nutrient-poor soil, such as on the battlefields of WWI and where new roads are being built (they are thus ''pioneer plants''). The seed can remain in the soil for decades without losing its ability to germinate. Poppies sow vigorously. They close at night and open again through light. The colour red stands for love as well as blood. Finally, the poppy is vulnerable; in it, helpers and victims know themselves to be united and seek the grace and protection of Jesus Christ.

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!
