A new documentary was released this week calling for better safeguarding and accountability in the Church.

Let There Be Light looks at what many youth and young adults experienced over 40 years under the leadership of Mike Pilavachi, a UK church leader. 

This short film highlights victims’ stories, alongside expert insight from experienced professionals discussing how cultures can develop that allow abuse of this nature and the long-term psychological harm that victims can suffer as a result of it.

“Watch Me Work”

Exodus 5:22–6:12

So Moses told the people of Israel what the LORD had said, but they refused to listen anymore. They had become too discouraged by the brutality of their slavery.

Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go back to Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and tell him to let the people of Israel leave his country.”

“But LORD!” Moses objected. “My own people won’t listen to me anymore. How can I expect Pharaoh to listen? I’m such a clumsy speaker!” (Exodus 6:9–12)
