This webpage is dedicated to the millions of physically, sexually, mentally and
emotionally abused infants and children in this country and around the world.
It is our opinion that this problem has reached epidemic proportions due, in large part,
to the failure of Christians in defending this precious gift from God....the child.
We have allowed our government to take God out of our schools, our government
and our homes. Now we are facing the consequences....the moral decay of our
family structure, our children being abused and neglected, children being murdered
at the hands of adults, other children and abortionists. What have we done? Let us
ask our God for forgiveness for being so lenient, and then ask yourself, "What can I
do now?". I'll tell you..... It is time for Christians all over this country, and yes, even
the world, to get some backbone and finally STAND UP and declare that
this has gone on way to long and we want a stop to it now.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services statistics for 1997
(the latest statictics gathered thus far).......
**Just under 1 million children were the victims of substantiated or indicated child abuse
and neglect in 1997. Child Protective Service agencies investigated an estimated 2 million
reports alleging the maltreatment of almost 3 million children.
**The national rate of victimization was 13.9 victims per 1,000 children in the population.
**1997, 41 States reported that 967 children were known by CPS agencies to have
died as a result of child abuse and neglect.
Is this the legacy of America? Worse yet...is this the legacy of Christianity??? You may say,
"How could I do anything, I didn't know" Well, you do now! NOW, according to the Word
of God you will be held responsible for what you've heard and read here.And if you don't stand
up and try to make a difference....you will have to answer for your actions (or lack thereof)
at the judgement throne of God.
We have created "Project Broken Heart". This is a web-wide campaign to call
attention to the epidemic of child abuse. But this is a bit unique from all others.
You see, this project is created by Christians, for Christians. For we believe,
that not only can we stop this abomination, but we also believe that God, in His
infinite love and mercy, can heal the bodies, hearts and spirits of those children
(and children-at-heart) who have been abused and tortured.

Dear Mister Jesus
Dear Mister Jesus, I just had to write to you. something really scared me when I saw it on the news. a story about a little girl beaten black and blue. Jesus I thought I'd take this right to you. Dear mister Jesus I don't understand. why they took her mom and dad away. I know that they don't mean to hit with an angry hand. Tell them just how big they are I pray. Please don't let them hurt your children. We need love and shelter from the storm. Please don't let them hurt your children. Won't you keep us safe and warm. Dear mister Jesus, they say she might die. Oh I hope the doctor stops the pain. I know that you could save her and take her up to the sky so she would never have to hurt again. Dear mister Jesus, please tell me what to do. and please don't tell my daddy but my mommy hits me too. Sighhhhhhhhhhhhhh Shelter From The Storm Records and Tapes
