Fighting for Healing

I wanted to post today on behalf of some people I have come to know, and one dear friend.  About a year ago they began the Fanda Eagles blog to bring public awareness to the abuses perpetrated on them as children in the Missionary Boarding Schools.

I have followed their blog and prayed for the work being done on their behalf.

Like the children from patriarchal homes where God is used as a club, they were told that God had placed them in the hell-hole of Fanda because their parents calling to save the tribal peoples was more important than they were.

Like the daughters abused by their authorities, these children were subjected to authorities and "teachers" who had no training, almost no qualification, and very little experience in self-control or Godliness.

Like us, they were spanked until their wills were broken or until the teacher or dorm parent was exhausted.


As a missionary kid, I sympathize deeply with them.  Although my parents chose to homeschool us, many of the soul-wounds we bear are similar.  I pray that the more people who read this report and hear of the cause; the more we can change the future for the children to be born.  Our childhoods were what the locusts ate.  May God give the evil ones their full reward.
