Wow, it was 4 years ago when the abuse of 6 of us (plus others who have not shared) happened by a top VP of #crutoo. I often talk about the other's abuse (as we are friends) & the focus should not just be on me/us. Having said that we tried for 2 yrs on #crutoo to make it...
but the leaders above the abuser, Cru attorney & all the leaders on the abuser's team protected the VP & began a coverup that exists to this day. Plus 4 of us at our lowest moments signed an NDA (which I would never do today). I beat myself up for doing that 😪.
During those 2 yrs of post abuse, I was in professional counseling for well over 150 hrs addressing my PTSD. I was hospitalized 3 times. The staff woman was harassed by the same VP during the same time. My heart breaks for her & their family!
Then the AA couple experienced direct racial abuse, the VP struck the table in a public restaurant with his fist within inches of the couple w/ age. White supremacy & ugly racism was lived out & again #crutoo did nothing about any of these other abuses. The cover-up began!
When we fled #crutoo we simply could not stay in a ministry that never put the VP on a leave of absence. Never had an independent investigation. HR did not protect any of us abused & being in the orgs Religious Order we could not hire our own attorneys.
Remember that #crutoo is a Religious Order & being a missionary all of our 1st & 14th Amendment rights are taken away by the RO. Read this disturbing doc of #crutoo: 
I/we have continued professional counseling & EMDR has had the greatest positive results. I am now ready & equipped with tools to emotionally handle what is before us.
Pray as we trust to find a professional, victim-centered journalist that can kindly let us break our NDA by going public with our story. We desire a journalist that writes for a national newspaper or magazine with a long track record of respect for victims! But is professional!
We are weary but have a support group & tools from counseling to help us. Again so many people to thank but let me list a few: Family, @DianeLangberg @BryanPickering Pastor Chuck, @bozlawpa @wademullen @KyleJamesHoward @vhobbs5 @LoriAnneThomps2 @scotmcknight @WePreachChrist
@cachebarnes @AllenderCenter EMDR experts, @kkdumez @ThabitiAnyabwil @DavidAFrench @kristenmcknight @nate_postlethwt @LarrySnodgrass1 @SJWickham @leefurney @SamObiWon
“Public disclosure is also the LAST resort for victims. It is employed when private channels fail, usually because those in authority or who are peers with the abuser refuse to act.” -@R_Denhollander
