Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
John 14:27 NIV +

One of the students asked during a Vuku training, “I have started tutoring a financially disadvantaged 16-year-old girl who happens to be one of my most brilliant students. Recently, I discovered that her step-father has been coercing her into sleeping with him. When she shared this with her mother, she turned a blind eye in order to maintain her relationship with her husband. What can I do?”

In response, I said, “If you confront them, they could deny it and get her in a greater danger. I suggest visiting both of the girl’s parents, accompanied by your wife, and expressing how much you care about her and how bright her future could be. Often, people hurt each other because they believe the other person is worth nothing and that no one cares for them. By showing your compassion for the girl, you express the love of Christ for her. When her parents see that, they might come to their senses.

Sometimes, we must take drastic measures to protect the vulnerable. However, if you have the choice to bring either the police or Jesus, always bring Jesus with you.”

Please keep the girl in your prayers.
