Rachel Denhollander became an unwilling victim of sexual abuse at age 7 at the hands of a college student attached to the ministry of Westwood Baptist Church in Kalamazoo, Mich.
Often, the young man encouraged the girl to sit on his lap. He bought her gifts, including clothing. His actions caught the attention of Sandy Burdick, the licensed counselor who led the church’s sexual-abuse support group and he warned Denhollander’s parents, who turned to their closet friends, their Bible-study support group, for help.
