This is my story. This is why I am here for you.
My name is Evangelist Elaine White.
I am the founder of Wise Men and Women Faith. As a young lady, a pastor molested me. I never told anyone, including my mother, because I didn't want to bring shame to her.
I later married a pastor and experienced domestic violence and sexual abuse. When I confided with "women leaders" of the church, I learned that they, too, had been experiencing some of the same issues. People told me to pray more and fast more. They said, "You don't want to embarrass or tear up the church." The pastors who would counsel me told me to be more submissive and trust God.
I cried to God, "God, am I here not to be loved? Why is it that the people who say they love me hurt me? Am I just supposed to sit back, be quiet and change myself? Only for those to protect their self-image? Lord, I want to feel loved and my children protected."
