Our elderly neighbor, who lived in the unit below us, had a granddaughter. I visited daily with a broken camera and convinced the granddaughter she was a TV celebrity. I persuaded her to undress while pretending to take photos of her. I’m curious if my actions caused her to be promiscuous as an adult? I pray for her to this day as we were both victims of sexual abuse. As I grew older, I left home to live with my father. He provided the structure and work ethic I needed to become successful. I avoided jail and drugs, but the sexual promiscuity remained. I repressed my childhood abuse. Once I acknowledged my pain, I sought deliverance through my relationship with Jesus Christ. I learned how to use prayer and spiritual warfare to combat promiscuity. God had a greater plan for my life. Today, I am a pastor of BGK Virtual Ministries, a non-denominational church. Based in Illinois, we have members all over the world. God used the pain from my past to help me deliver others from the chains of sexual bondage. 16
