Church Helps Victims of Family Violence

As part of the “Breaking the Silence” campaign of the Women’s Ministries Department of the Seventh-day Adventist world church, women in Rio de Janeiro are actively providing support for women who suffer discrimination and violence in the family. “We should care for others even when it would be easier to not become involved,” said Evelyn Nagel, Women’s Ministries director for the church in South America. Nagel told Novo Tempo Radio Network that, “God feels wounded when His children feel pain, and He becomes angry when someone abuses His children.” [Elias Teixeira]
