A story from Destiny Rescue

*Destiny Rescue is one of the three ministries that are being supported 

through this year's Bike Challenge pledges.  Below is one story of a child rescued through this ministry.

It is stories like these that are motivating the 18 men to endure the heat and fatigue of this year's Bike Challenge!

SOLD FOR SEX BY MOTHER – Cambodia 

CHONG -  Chong grew up in a home full of poverty, extreme abuse and neglect. 

When Chong was 8 yrs old, her mother sold her to an older man to work as his servant. 

The man exploited Chong, raping her young body multiple times.  Chong was hurt and 

confused and didn’t know what to do.  After a time, Chong returned home to her family. 

  

Chong’s mother sold her again to a lady who used Chong to plant and water her

lotus flower farm.   One day, a relative of the woman saw Chong alone in the fields and

raped her.  Chong returned home to a stepfather who started to molest her at night. 

He was a very violent and drunk man and would often hurt Chong.  Chong’s mother

knew this was happening but did nothing to stop him because she was afraid of him. 

Chong eventually ran away to her grandmother’s house to see help and safety.  

Chong was found and rescued, and is now being cared for in a loving

 Destiny Rescue home.
