Splsh4Ripls2 Comments

Today I received word from Doeurldy Cadet, that his book “In the name of “Mission Work” is available on Amazon.

To order click the appropriate link. Purchase in United States via Amazon USA: In the name of “Mission Work and in Canada via Amazon Canada: In the name of “Mission Work.

I have ordered my copy and am looking forward to its arrival tomorrow. Mr. Cadet is a tenderhearted young man who suffered at the hands of Jeriah Mast, pedophile sent to Haiti by Christian Aid Ministries USA (CAM USA), where he had access to countless young men. In his position with CAM USA, he had the power to use food to manipulate boys into cooperating with his advances.

Mr. Cadet also talks about the disruption CAM brought to the country. As a former staff member, he speaks as an insider of the organization, as well as a Haitian who suffered grave injustices.

In spite of this, there is no bitterness. Mr. Cadet speaks honestly, with grace. It is my prayer that his story will bring change and greater accountability to “mission work” and the way Western religious groups use their power against the people they profess to serve. (Some sincerely, but with many corrupt and greedy organizations doing more harm than good).

As one of Jeriah Mast’s victims, he refused CAM’s money in exchange for silence, and chose instead to tell his story to the world. I have heard his heart at various times, having kept in touch since our meeting in 2019, and have deep respect for him.

I encourage you to order the book and prayerfully ponder the implications to the spreading of the Gospel; what it has become, and what it should be.

Praying God will use this for great good and desperately needed change.

NOTE: I am not being paid to market the book. Nor did I assist in any way in writing it. My only role has been to believe in Mr. Cadet’s story, and the value it holds in Christian community so that we can learn to do better.

As always…
Love,

Victim of Christian Aid Ministries & Jeriah Mast to Publish His Story

Splsh4Ripls19 Comments

This week I spoke with one of the victims of Christian Aid Ministries (CAM) and Jeriah Mast. He has completed his book and is almost ready to move toward publishing. He is one who refused the hush money, choosing rather to walk in truth.

This young man, from day one, exemplified more integrity and leadership than I’ve seen in many church leaders. Before I knew him as well as I do today, when we spoke and he shared his heart, I asked if he is a pastor. Not because pastors all have a good track record, but because in him I saw and heard the heart of Jesus. He is sincere and articulate. He is honourable. He chuckled and said he is not a pastor.

He is a gifted speaker and a delightful personality. He is a family man, now in his early 30s, with a beautiful wife and several little children.

You do not want to miss hearing him when the time comes!

It is time the young men, whose young lives were destroyed by the very interpreter who shared the gospel with Haitians, are given a voice and a platform

I’ve had the honour of reading it, and declined suggesting changes. The moment I do that, people will hurl accusations. Therefore I advised doing it entirely without me, as much as I would have loved to help. Instead, I offered to do everything I can to help him build a platform.

This will be his story, in his words. The most amazing part of the book is the author’s grace. He speaks with kindness and truth. And oh such grace!

If you are interested in being placed on a list for the book when it is released, and to keep updated on a speaking tour we will be planning, please send an email to Trudy with the words “Interested in book regarding CAM’s Abuse in Haiti”

PS. Please help this young man spread the word by sharing this post.

Breaking News: 17 Christian Aid Ministries Missionaries Kidnapped by Gang in Haiti

Splsh4Ripls

NOTE: I temporarily pulled a blog due to the ‘information link’ between Jeriah Mast’s crimes, CAM leadership’s knowledge and handling of those crimes, and the current tragic situation. This morning I searched online and found it that link had already been made by a much more powerful new source than my blog (Read here). I am therefore reposting my blog. That connection is inevitable due to how the case was handled, which drew far more attention and criticism than it would have if there has been a healthier response. I’ve seen criticism of people who bring that up now. While I understand that criticism when the JM case becomes the focus and the kidnapping victims are forgotten, it is pretentious to think people don’t remember. Both can be remembered at the same time. There is no need for denial. But there is a need to prioritize the victims of the kidnapping, first and foremost.

Seventeen Christian Aid Ministries Missionaries have been kidnapped in Haiti, along with some children, by a gang. The News article contains very few details, as very little is known at this time.

17 Missionaries Kidnapped by Gang in Haiti

EDIT: Canadian citizen among 17 people kidnapped in Haiti, missionary group says

There is a request that people would pray for the gang members to repent. I would add that we pray that Christian aid ministries as an organization repents as well. (Forgive me… Why was there never a public request for people to pray that Jeriah Mast and those hiding his crimes would repent? Why is there only concern now when it isn’t “our people” committing the crimes?) It is always tragic when people pay the price for the sins of others. That is true in the case of this gang kidnapping. And it is true in the case of the victims of Jerish Mast. While I have no reason to believe that the missionaries were targeted because of Jeriah Mast’s crimes, spiritually I believe there is a very significant link.

Pray for those kidnapped. Especially the children. They should not have to pay for gang activities.
