HELP MAKE ABUSE PREVENTION

ACCESSIBLE.

Support the Translation of On Guard  into Spanish and French

Abuse often goes unrecognized and unreported within our churches, schools, and other ministries.

It is vital that we make our abuse prevention resources accessible to people across the globe.

On Guard, by Deepak Reju, examines why child predators target churches and offers eleven strategies to protect children from abuse and to help victims recover.

Our desire is to make this book available in more languages so that ministries around the world can raise awareness about child abuse prevention. The cost of translation and providing an initial printing of the book is $10,000 (per translation).

We need your help to make this possible through financial support and sharing this global initiative with others.

Plan to Protect® provides high quality training and resources on abuse prevention and vulnerable sector protection. Their customized tools, training, policies and procedures help leaders and their organizations effectively protect children.

Deepak Reju writes with conviction and compassion about the sobering reality of Child abuse. and the challenge of protecting children in this fallen world. Highlighting both the responsibility and privilege of our stewardship, Deepak's straightforward, thorough, and well-researched insights will instill in any parent or church leader a healthy fear and God-dependent confidence while providing us with practical steps and effective strategies for fulfilling the calling and responsibility we have as God's stewards. We earnestly encourage church leaders to embrace Deepak's concern and apply his counsel for the protection and joy of the next generation."

David and Sally MichaelFounders, Truth:78

Authority exercised well is one of the most beautiful pictures we have of God and His character. Authority abused, especially among children, is one of the most heinous sins and offenses against God because it lies about his image and who he is. In On Guard, Deepak reflects pastorally, practically, and biblically on how to exercise authority well so that Christian leaders and parents can most effectively protect and care for children in the church. This is an essential resource for every local church, filling a much-needed gap and giving practical tools that will honor God, protect children, and strengthen the witness of the gospel in a dark world."

I know of no single book that captures well the full picture and essential need to protect children in the modern church and how to accomplish it wisely . . . until now. I am deeply grateful that Deepak Reju wrote this book. His wise pastor's heart and years of credible experience he brings to this area of ministry permeates from every page. On Guard is thoroughly biblical and immensely practical. Every pastor, church leader, and church member working with children in the local church must read this book. This is one of the most important books for the local church I have read in many years!"
