Over the past year, child and youth safety has been a growing concern for Discipleship Ministries. Nothing destroys a child the way abuse does, and unfortunately, the rates of sexual abuse against children continue to grow. Conservative statistics say that 1 in 10 children will be sexually abused, usually by someone they know. Additionally, this is on the rise in churches throughout the U.S. The number one lawsuit against churches over the last ten years (except for 2016) has been sexual abuse in nature.<\/p>\n

However, there is hope. IPHC churches can be places of refuge for the young, weak, and vulnerable, and that includes: 1) protecting the young while they are in church care and 2) being trained to recognize when they are being mistreated at home or otherwise. So, it is from this desire to protect children and youth that the Discipleship Ministries team has created a new resource for the local church.<\/p>\n

On September 16th<\/sup>, Discipleship Ministries unveiled Vigilant: IPHC Child and Youth Safety Resource. The initial release will feature a 5-part video series featuring the CEO of Adults Protecting Children,<\/em>\u00a0Steve Collins, and Police Detective (Special Victims Unit) Amanda Hogan. There are multiple components in the works: webinar training (October 28th<\/sup>), documentation and guidelines, and continued support.<\/p>\n

Kristi Cain, National Director of Children\u2019s Ministries, noted, \u201cOne of the best responses we could get from Vigilant is that churches are more motivated and equipped to make changes that will forever affect the lives of children. While the situation is daunting, we do not have to be overwhelmed. I believe God is helping us make our churches safer places for the vulnerable. What an incredible time this is.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bishop Tommy McGhee stated, \u201cWe are thankful for the relationship with Steve Collins and the ability to present this information on child safety to our churches. Child safety is one of the most important issues that local churches ensure they are covering in risk management.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nada destruye a un ni\u00f1o como lo hace el abuso y, lamentablemente, las tasas de abuso sexual contra ni\u00f1os contin\u00faan aumentando. Las estad\u00edsticas conservadoras dicen que 1 de cada 10 ni\u00f1os ser\u00e1 abusado sexualmente, generalmente por alguien que conocen. Adem\u00e1s, esto est\u00e1 aumentando en las iglesias en todo Estados Unidos. La demanda n\u00famero uno contra las iglesias durante los \u00faltimos diez a\u00f1os (excepto en 2016) ha sido el abuso sexual por naturaleza. Sin embargo, hay esperanza. Las iglesias de IPHC pueden ser lugares de refugio para los j\u00f3venes, d\u00e9biles y vulnerables, y eso incluye: 1) proteger a los j\u00f3venes mientras est\u00e1n bajo el cuidado de la iglesia y 2) ser capacitados para reconocer cu\u00e1ndo est\u00e1n siendo maltratados en el hogar o de otra manera. Entonces, es a partir de este deseo de proteger a los ni\u00f1os y j\u00f3venes que el equipo de Ministerios de Discipulado ha creado un nuevo recurso para la iglesia local. Kristi Cain, Directora Nacional de Ministerios Infantiles, se\u00f1al\u00f3: \u201cUna de las mejores respuestas que pudimos obtener de Vigilant es que las iglesias est\u00e1n m\u00e1s motivadas y equipadas para hacer cambios que afectar\u00e1n para siempre la vida de los ni\u00f1os. Si bien la situaci\u00f3n es abrumadora, no tenemos por qu\u00e9 sentirnos abrumados. Creo que Dios nos est\u00e1 ayudando a hacer de nuestras iglesias lugares m\u00e1s seguros para los vulnerables. Qu\u00e9 momento tan incre\u00edble es este \". El 16 de septiembre<\/sup> , Ministerios de Discipulado dio a conocer Vigilant: Recurso de seguridad para ni\u00f1os y j\u00f3venes de IPHC. El lanzamiento inicial contar\u00e1 con una serie de videos de 5 partes con el director ejecutivo de Adultos que protegen a los ni\u00f1os,<\/em> Steve Collins, y la detective de polic\u00eda (Unidad de v\u00edctimas especiales) Amanda Hogan. Existen m\u00faltiples componentes en las obras: la formaci\u00f3n de seminario (28 de octubre),<\/sup> la documentaci\u00f3n y las directrices y apoyo continuo. El obispo Tommy McGhee declar\u00f3: \u201cEstamos agradecidos por la relaci\u00f3n con Steve Collins y la capacidad de presentar esta informaci\u00f3n sobre la seguridad infantil en nuestras iglesias. La seguridad infantil es uno de los temas m\u00e1s importantes que las iglesias locales aseguran cubrir en la gesti\u00f3n de riesgos \".
