| Summary: | Although survivors of childhood sexual abuse (CSA) do not constitute a mission field in the geographical sense, current awareness of the impact of CSA provides data that allow Christians to reach out with compassion to that population. This paper connects studies on CSA with elements of trauma. It points out some of the factors needed for recovery from CSA to aid missionary awareness and includes an excursus on the concept of forgiveness as seen in the Gospels. Finally, it calls the church to provide communities that embody an effective mindset for mission outreach to this population. |
