Spiritual and Sexual Abuse in Missions with Rebecca Hopkins

Sarita Hartz Season 1 Episode 7

Sadly, spiritual and sexual abuse is very prevalent in missions, with those living overseas being three times more likely to experience some kind of abuse, and almost 30% experience some kind of sexual harm. Rebecca is a journalist for Christianity Today and we explore what constitutes spiritual  and sexual abuse, why there is so much of it on the mission field, and why reporting, accountability and justice are much more difficult for global workers. If you or someone you know has experienced abuse on the field, please reach out to me to tell your story, or for trauma informed coaching by emailing me at saritahartz@gmail.com. You do not have to suffer alone. To connect with Rebecca go to https://rhopkins.substack.com/.
