Join us TONIGHT in protest of Greater Grace World Outreach’s decades-long and ONGOING mishandling of child sexual abuse within their churches: https://t.co/wmNdedseWl

[The Baltimore Banner @BaltimoreBanner]

This megachurch warned of hell. Then it concealed its own sins.

I'm so appreciative of the tenacity and courage of @TheMillstones on behalf of survivors of child abuse by @ggwo. All are invited to stand in solidarity with them to protest on Friday evening outside the East Baltimore campus.

My statement here: https://t.co/IbGESaWIj1

The man stood quietly outside the Greater Grace World Outreach complex in East Baltimore.

On his face, arms, legs and torso, and across his khaki shorts were the words: Shame. Broken. So Much Failure. Stolen. Guilty. Worthless.

If I am tagging you here, it's because I've followed and appreciated your work for a long time, even if quietly. If you are able to join us, amplify this protest, share these articles, we deeply appreciate it. If this is not your work to do now, we completely understand.

Children are not safe at Greater Grace World Outreach. Help us prevent further harm, further abuse, further #religioustrauma, further suffering. Help us honor survivors and help us make sure there is #notonemore

[Jo Vie’ @jayvyay]

THIS Friday (6/27) survivors and advocates are staging a protest during the culminating event of the church's annual convention at their east Baltimore campus. Please join us in-person if you are able and share these articles and this message everywhere. https://t.co/wmNdedrH6N

[Jo Vie’ @jayvyay]

But survivors are not done speaking out. Three days ago, one staged a powerful silent protest at the gates of the church. He chose to stand alone because he was alone when he first reported his abuse to the church and to police. https://t.co/X9Mxc2HKAB

[Jo Vie’ @jayvyay]

The church's response to these articles has been appalling: https://t.co/kbmrg85w3R

Greater Grace World Outreach is headquartered in Baltimore, MD, but has affiliated branches all over the country and worldwide. Reports of child sexual abuse have persisted since the church was founded decades ago. Since these articles were published, there have been even more.

[Jo Vie’ @jayvyay]

After years of investigation by @TheMillstones and Banner reporters @justin_fenton, @juliemore, and @Calefati, an incredible series of articles was published last week, including my own story and many others: https://t.co/FZ8pks5Kzu

@aslipperyslope2 I have a wonderful one in the Baltimore area if that would help anyone here - please reach out! ❤
