About Us
MK Safety
Net (MKSN) was born out of the efforts of the Mamou
Committee in 1999 after a group of alumni of the Christian &
Missionary Alliance school in Mamou, West Africa had tried
for 12 years to get the C&MA leadership to address the
issues of abuse which took place at the boarding school.
Through those efforts, the frustration and revitalization
they experience at the hands of church leaders, they saw the
need for a forum where former MKs, TCKs and their families
could come to tell their stories, network with other who
have had similar experiences and get guidance regarding the
best way to bring their concerns to the church authorities
who are responsible for addressing what happened under their
sponsorship. In 2005 the Board of Directors was formed, the
organization was registered as a not-for-profit organization
with the goal of supporting the healing of those who have
been hurt in evangelical mission schools and to be a voice
for change and justice within the churches that sponsor and
support boarding schools that house MKs and TCKs.
Through the establishment and maintenance of our web site we
reach out to those who need our support and those who can
benefit from the knowledge and insight we have gained over
many years dealing with individuals and organizations
attempting to address issues of abuse in boarding schools.
Our commitment is to maintain the site as a place where any
MK, TCKs and/or family member can come to get information
and contribute to the on-going conversation without fear of
judgment. We welcome all points of view and will not edit or
censor any contribution that is submitted in good faith and
is not damaging to another. We hope that the information we
have gathered, created and posted on the site will
contribute to any church organization that is willing to
make a sincere effort or correct wrongs of the past and
ensure the current safety of children under their care.
It is our sincere hope that you will find the site helpful
and that you will contact any member of our
Board of Directors with
questions or information. |
