I am about to share something I never have done so publicly, but I feel compelled to now.

In early 2016, I was drugged & sexually assaulted by an acquaintance. I woke up the next day in a state of confusion, anger, depression, & disarray. I was in NY, away from friends & family.

the friend I was with stayed at her bf’s house that night. she had no idea. she still doesn’t.

I didn’t know what to do. that Sunday evening, I went, alone, to @timkellernyc’s church. I walked up to a pastor there. I was in shock. I asked for prayer. I started explaining.

they said, “it sounds like you were sexually assaulted.” I burst into tears. I got the number of a church counselor & was told they could meet with me the next day. she did. she met w/me for 3 hours. she called my husband w/me to tell him what happened. she prayed over me, and

not only walked me back to the station, but stayed on the train w:me back to my hotel to make sure I was safe/comfortable.

I never even emailed them to say thankyou, &regret that to this day. I may not have made it w/out them.

@timkellernyc—your church is doing something right.
