HEALING SEXUAL ASSAULT OR RAPE
Believers
must learn to pray for survivors of sexual violence.
Statistics say 1 out of
3 females and 1 out of 7 males have suffered from unwanted
sexual contact. This means that 20% of the people at your
church, school, business, club, market, etc. need effective
prayer ministry for healing from sexual trauma.
In this
recorded interview, you have an opportunity to learn
from
two ladies who have
been victims of sexual assault or rape in the past. Between
them, they also have 12 years of experience in confidential
ministry to victims of sexual violence. While we felt it
best not to reveal their full identities or location, they
are available to minister. They are very transparent about
the effects of rape, the long range impact and what helps
and doesn't help victims to heal.

HEALING PROCESS AFTER SEXUAL ASSAULT
Sexual assaults can involve include sexual contact
from unwanted touch all the way to brutal rape. No matter
what has happened, it still has an effect on the victim.
Every sexual assault hurts the victim. Secular therapists
may say, "This incident has changed her life; it will never
be the same." They say how she copes with it will depend on
her willingness to move through "the process." They caution
that this process is painful and difficult, but she can
become stronger and wiser for it.
This
table summarizes stages of grief without Christ
and our Restoration Prayer Ministry. The second table
reveals how much more thorough healing with Holy Spirit led
restoration ministry is. Listen to the recorded interview as
they compare the healing process with and without healing
prayer ministry.
