- TW: Sexual assault
Scripture references:
2 Samuel 11 and 12
Genesis 19:30-38
Matthew 18:9
The brutal rape and murder of 19-year-old Uyinene Mrwetyana happened while I was in South Africa and that shifted the entire atmosphere of my stay.
The air was uncomfortably thick, fear ran rampant in the streets, and for the first time in my life, I was deeply scared to be a woman.
This beautiful young woman did not deserve to die like that. No one deserves to die like that.
I joined the #AmINext protest alongside the women of South Africa without hesitation. But while our picket signs raised high, our prayers raised even higher.
Jesus believes in women. He believes in guarding and protecting them. Jesus believes in men. He believes in guarding and protecting them. Jesus believes in children. He believes in guarding and protecting them.
Sometimes it seems like we’re progressing as human beings, until something as horrible as Uyinene’s death makes headlines, and then it feels like we’ve taken a million steps back.
It can be incredibly discouraging to have faith.
But man, I have to have faith that I will see humanity value one another’s personhood in my lifetime. I have to. Otherwise, I will succumb to fear. And to succumb to fear is to forsake the faith.
So until valuing, honoring and respecting one another becomes second nature (and not second to sin nature), we will continue to pray and we will continue to protest.
This is for Uyinene and all the men, women and children who’ve been a victim of sexual violence, as well as those who no longer have voices to speak for themselves.
"At what point do we hold each other accountable for our sins being a choice without excusing each other for being young." Sheeeeesh 😭🔥
This resonated deeply with me.
The level of impurity in our hearts and minds is causing most to suffer.
Thank you 🖤
Daliso Jere so very true, I hope that’s a reminder of our daily need for Jesus ♥️

Ole Msondoro it’s incredibly heavy but thankfully Jesus always has a message of hope. Thank you for all your love + support 💗
woooohoooo another one..
beautiful way to narrate deep painful unspoken issue...
this touchy subject should be spoken over till every man woman get it.
nice one... amazing word work
like the way the pieces have subtitles nowadays can`t miss a word.
Timothy Muhambe thank you so much! And yes the subtitles were a very intentional addition lol! 🙏🏾
This really just hit home , this was just a dark time in South Africa .
It was great having you in our country hey . This made me cry , thank you Sis ♥️🇿🇦
Thank you for including men as victims.
Girl, you spoke so much real , you spoke to my trauma. I appreciate every word you said.
Thank you for this! I have been sexually assaulted a lot but God heals. I did not hear of that baby's death but God will avenge her. It reminds me of Judges 19. We must continue to speak up, but also bind the spirit of lust, and perversion. We as humans must understand that we can not just take like Ammon and Tamar. I loved your scripture references as well. It's a joy to be subscribed to you. Be blessed my sister in Christ.
Keierra ReeNell thank you so, so much for sharing Keierra. Jesus sees you, knows you and loves you deeply and I’m so grateful he has healed you and is continuing to heal you. ♥️ this message is never an easy one but I believe God is transforming lives as we speak
