A Texas pastor has launched a video series to help churches address the needs of sexual abuse survivors as data suggests that nearly one in five women has experienced completed or attempted rape in her lifetime.
James Reeves, senior pastor of City on a Hill in Fort Worth, was the featured speaker during a monthly webinar for pastors hosted by leading pornography accountability software company Covenant Eyes last Wednesday.
He argued that while some churches are hesitant to address the issue, he hopes to change that with the newly-released “Fearless” film series and accompanying study guide for women to provide help, hope and healing from sexual abuse.
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one in five women has experienced completed or attempted rape in her life, with a third of survivors saying they experienced rape for the first time between 11 and 17. One in eight rape survivors reports being victimized before age 10.
