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 can also be found within the
Christian community. This website 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.
