“Don’t believe the lie that you will never be whole again. God makes all things new”

There are few things more vile than robbing a child of its innocence. At age 15, Joy Tan-Chi Mendoza was attacked and raped by seven men at gunpoint in her own home. Her house was robbed by 10 armed men who tied up her siblings, looted the premises and then violated her and two of her friends who were visiting personal account of what happened to her and how to trust in God and His good plans in the face of adversity.
