Dwelling Safe in Christ our Lord . . . Psalm 91:1
About Us
Robert L. Robar & Susanna Shutz Robar
God's Call
It was in 1998 that Susanna began what was to become the hallmark of her life: to extend the healing hand
of Jesus Christ to others who have also been traumatized by sexual violence.
Wanting to assist those seeking help and healing from sexual trauma, and to give back to her community, Susanna applied in a volunteer capacity at a local rape crisis center. She felt a stirring begin deep within her heart; she knew she needed to do more than her initial volunteer offer.
Susanna completed the necessary program hours in order to become a Certified Rape Crisis Advocate for the State of California. She then enrolled in the Project Date Program at the crisis center, becoming a public speaker within the local Christian community and for other interested groups.
Continuing to follow the call of God on her life, Susanna educates others regarding the role that we all hold: helping to create a safe haven for victims of sexual violence, and protecting all children who are within the immediate realm of our influence.
Susanna Robar Ministries is dedicated to the careful dissemination of specific educational materials regarding the issues of sexual violence, the common effects created by sexual violence within our families and our communities, and the solutions within our reach.
Through workshops, seminars and short-term courses, RapeSpeaksOut! delivers instructive presentations that educate all groups - including parents, teachers, pastors and other child caregivers - toward a common awareness that will: discourage sexual violence, encourage healing from sexual trauma, and create safer communities in which to live, work and play.
