I and my children suffered years of violence: Eileen's experience P/1


In this post I will begin to share the story of  abuse suffered by Eileen Gray, previously a member of Grace Community Church, Sun Valley, California, USA, pastored by John MacArthur. 

Eileen Gray and her husband David attended Grace Community Church led by Pastor John MacArtur. David was involved in kids' ministry at the church. However, she and the children endured years of abuse at the hand of David.

Eileen had reported David's abuse to elders and pastors at Grace Community Church and had filed for legal separation and a restraining order against her husband David for his repeated abuse of her and her children. 

Eileen had gone to the elders of Grace Community Church hoping they would protect her and her children and get her husband professional help. Instead, the church subjected her to spiritual abusive counselling and used church discipline to try and coerce her to take David back into the family's home. She needed to model how to suffer for Christ to her children. When Eileen refused to take David back letters were sent to her between 2001  - 2002.
