HUNDREDS of children that were once dead in spirit are now alive, happy and vibrant.
Easter is the time to celebrate life and success and above all the happy lives of hundreds of children that were once dead in themselves and to the world but have found a new lease on life. They suffered physical, sexual and psychological abuse. They were just existing but not living, dead in spirit and then saved, rescued, cared for and healed and they came back to life. A resurrection from death in the spirit to a new life.
In one family alone, four children renamed the âHappy Fourâ were saved and healed at the Preda home. They received new names, Kardi, 10, an adopted girl, three boys Juan 8, Roberto 6, and the eldest, Jun 14, all victims of online sexual abuse.
They survived years of abuse without hope that it would ever end because their parents, relatives and guardians were their abusers. They had an on-line sex abuse business. They horrifically sexually exploited the four children one by one, again and again, for different customers through live streaming over encrypted mobile phones to foreign pedophiles. They earned huge sums of money.
These were child victims without hope and dignity and survived in shame. International police in Switzerland intercepted one of the transmitted sex shows sent by live-streaming of the abuse over the Philippine internet service providers to foreign pedophiles.
They contacted Philippine police. The children were rescued from years of misery and were referred to the Preda Foundation home for abused and trafficked children. They are now healed, happy, vibrant children full of life. They are playing, singing, dancing and happily going to school and studying their lessons.
They have had their resurrection, a new life of freedom from abuse when they moved from suffering and sadness to freedom and happiness at the Preda children’s home. Here they are protected, cared for and loved with 68 other children healing and in full recovery.
They have had a new life experience coming from darkness to light. They expressed all their suffering and sorrow through Emotional Release Therapy. They cried out their pain and they healed. They were empowered and became strong so that they have the courage and confidence and are ready to testify and win justice in the court of law.
Every year, an average of 20 Preda children win convictions of abusers. They are then free of that abuser for the rest of their lives. Hundreds of child victims of human trafficking and sexual abuse have had their spiritual resurrection having been rescued and given new life at the Preda Foundation through the truly dedicated staff.
This was Godâs love working through the committed service of the Preda healers of children: leaders, social workers, facilitators, teachers, therapists and spiritual guides and supporters. (To be continued)/PN
