Hope Amidst the Silence
Sexual abuse refers to any activity of a sexual nature imposed
upon someone without their consent or understanding. It occurs in homes and on streets. It is committed by those
unknown and known to the victim. It has and continues to be used as a weapon of war. It is committed against women,
men and children. It is an act which invades not only the body, but the very 'self' of a person and can have devastating consequences.
Sexual abuse is surrounded by silence or myth, more generally by both in some measure. This
silence is found within the Christian community. This site is the beginning of an attempt to remedy this. CASA not
only intends to provide Christian help for victims of sexual abuse but to clarify and promote a biblical perspective on the
issue of sexual abuse.
This site is for all adults who have experienced sexual abuse: male
and female victims of sexual assault and rape, adult victims of childhood sexual abuse, Christian and non-Christian victims.
On this website you will find information, testimony and support resources. For the Christian, I hope you find it a place of encouragement.
For the non-believer I hope it provides a means whereby you will come to know the peace, hope and healing that
is to be found in Jesus Christ.
