TW - Sexual Abuse. After initially running away and then 12 years of silence, Alex Rayment talks about the courage it took to finally speak out about the abuse he faced as a child. In John 14:1-27, Jesus offers a powerful promise in times of trouble: ‘My peace I give to you, my peace I leave with you.’ Alex talks about the peace he experienced as he stood in the witness stand in the courtroom, that he could only account to a God who has also walked through suffering and walks through it with us now. Please follow appropriate safeguarding procedures if anyone discloses any form of abuse with you. If you need to disclose any painful history, we strongly suggest you do so in a suitable and trusted environment where you can receive sufficient support.

Alex Rayment leads Penny Lane Church in Liverpool with his wife Laura. Together they have three young children.
