This picture has an impact that greatly overshadows any words I could write. Survivors of Word of Faith Fellowship (WOFF) tell their message this time without saying a word. Often it is the hands that bring the abuse- today; it is the hands imploring abusers to stop! This sign language speaks louder than the voices of agreement or sympathy to the ways of WOFF. The abuses of children and adults alike must stop. This week, if you shake hands with a WOFF member or see them wave…ask yourself if that hand has abused anyone?
Congratulations to these three for speaking out to the community.
See here for more survivors with their Hands Up!
And with that, let us remember:

Stay strong!! I am à Survivor not of WOFf but from my grandfather & my x-husband. Be brave..WOFF tried to tell me I was going OUT of God’s Will if I divorced my abusive x-husband. He was mentally & physically abusive. WOFF backed him & said I was wrong. I am remarried been with my husband 24. Heard My x died in 2005 from a Meth overdose. So stay strong in your Fight!!
I am a survivor of WOFF!!!! It has taken years to get to where I am today!!!! I have finally found peace n happiness!!!! I just had to learn how to forgive the ones that abused me!!!! Once I figured out that forgiveness is for me not for them I was able to let the past go!!!!
Amy,
Thank you for sharing. Letting the past go and still speaking out for those who remain inside are not mutually exclusive activities. Helping those who need help and may not be able to secure it can be a sign of actually processing your past and coming to the accurate conclusion of the true nature of life inside WOFF. See the update here as more are speaking out! http://www.gofundme.com/83zm0c
Hands Up! and speak out!
John
