Child Sexual Abuse Resources

“ANGELS IN THE NIGHT”

Between midnight and 4 am, four out of every ten children in the world will be abused in some way. The numbers increase at an alarming rate. Why? Because the children aren’t talking. We must end the silence. We must let these children know they are NOT ALONE…

The pages in this site tell a special story. A story of tears, laughter, faith, miracles, and great love. A story in which God was revealed to us on so many many occasions. A story of true sacrifice. A story of compassion. This story will only be recognized by those involved. In God’s miraculous way, he will guide those involved to a full understanding of this story.
