We never planned for this.
We thought this was not our charism, not our “expertise” (Haha, as if we had any before we began these ministries!).
We thought that some other charitable institutions, not us, ought to handle concerns like this.
But God had other plans.
We just said yes to Him.
And God surprised us.
As of today, two of our ministries for the poor are caring for seven – yes, seven! - victims of rape and child sexual abuse.
Grace To Be Born is providing sanctuary to 3 rape victims who are pregnant. And Tahanan ng Pagmamahal (Home of Love) is caring for 2 other rape victims and 2 victims of child sexual abuse whose experience did not result in unwanted pregnancy.
Grace To Be Born is our home for pregnant mothers in crisis and orphanage for abandoned babies, while Tahanan ng Pagmamahal is our orphanage for children aged 4 to 13. These are 2 of 9 ministries supported by KergymaFamily.
The pregnant rape victims thought of abortion. (Who wouldn’t?)
In their confused and desperate situation, they thought that they should not carry “tangible proof” of the misfortune they suffered. Even their own parents didn’t want to have anything to do with their unwanted babies.
Some of their friends and classmates encouraged these mothers to solve their problems by having their pregnancies aborted, erroneously reasoning out that the one month old or two month old fetus is “not yet a human being.”
But we know that abortion doesn’t solve anything.
Rape is terrible, one of the most horrible crimes on this earth.
But abortion solves nothing. It creates another horrible problem for the mother. We believe it will never bring the healing she desires.
Because our faith says that the fetus, even just a day old, is a fully alive human being created in the image of God, complete with soul and spirit.
These mothers chose instead to come to us and seek refuge in our shelters. They took the heroic path. I admire them so much! To carry a child in your womb who is a fruit of a horrible violation.
In our Grace shelter and Tahanan orphanage, we welcomed them and supported them in the difficult path they chose.
Friend, what you’re doing is heroic, too!
Thank you for supporting our heroic ministry.
May your dreams come true,
Bo Sanchez
