I Was Abducted By Two Strangers At 12 Years Old…

God saw THIS 12 year old girl and knew she'd be sharing THIS story as a testimony one day. He is good, very good.

[@tiggy4750]

If you can say that about God, you can say that God daw what she was going through and let it happen. Why did God not stop the men right at the beginning? Why did God allow Chyna to be abused in the first place. X

[@jayniekinser7259]

I feel like I can answer that. First, it’s so important not to blame God for bad things happening. First of all, it was a poor choice of this mother to send her daughter and China home with these two strangers. At any rate, God protected these two girls. I had to ask why the girls didn’t jump out of the back of the pick up or something but it was probably way out in an isolated area and they were young and naïve. It’s a very scary story. I can’t get it out of my mind. Anyway, I’m glad they escaped. No, God did not cause this or have anything to do with it. Evil stuff happens; it’s never God’s fault. He did protect CHYNNA and her friend and give CHYNNA direction. It gives me the creeps and I don’t know why I keep coming back here.I think I’ll wait for a better topic next time!

[@debbiepowers4743]

Wow Chynna, that was such a terrifying ordeal, it reminded me of a time I was traveling in Mexico as a young woman of 22 and was raped in a very lonely and deserted area. I too wondered if I was going to survive. I’m now 70 and the incident crosses my mind every now and then, but really holds no power over me. I took back my power soon after the incident and have walked with Jesus and the Holy Spirit through all my years. My guardian angels were working overtime that day and I will always be thankful to our Lord for his care and mercy. It is a wonderful world when you walk in Christ’s love. Blessings to you Chynna and thank you for sharing such a personal experience.

The Holy Spirit was with you that night! For you to have thought of what to do, for the guys to not chase you, for a nice woman to pick you up, it was all a MIRACLE!! Thank you for sharing your story, many of us have been in that position, innocently. Young girls should listen to your story and learn from it.

[@tiggy4750]

And the fact that they were in that situation in the first place !! Where was God then ?? One person survives a plane crash and they praise God for saving them, but what about everyone else !!

[@lindav1189]

@@tiggy4750 God doesn't bring the "bad" but He will allow it if it is His will. We are told not to try to understand Him. He said, "my words are not your words, my will is not your will". Surely, God is smarter than we are and has reasons for who lives and who dies. Also, who says dying is bad? People with near death experiences always say they beg to stay in heaven.

[@michaelrochester48]

When I was about 16 I was nearly abducted when I was walking alone in a park just outside of New York City, I I needed to clear my head because I hated the school I was going to and I was just walking away and I walked into another nightmare. Somehow I was able to escape the hold of two people and runoff. I never knew my strength until I knew I was fighting for my life!

[@craniumlost6439]

Wow, glad you glad you escaped. I am also from upstate NY. There are many opportunitys for sicko's to get you in isolated area's.

[@janwarner3475]

I wanted to run away so badly too but I knew out there alone it would be worse. The "Top" school system I went to was a living nightmare. Instead I talked parents into long vacation living with my Aunt. That helped. There is no safe place to hide from the reality of life. What helped was a knowledgeable and stable go-to person.

[@lucisue53]

"It was around that time my light just turned off, around that time that I sort of gave up." hit home. I felt that deeply. I was a naive, protected, and very much loved child who needed more information to stay safe in the world. It took a long time to make peace with some dark stuff that happened when no one was around to help and I didn't have the awareness to recognize danger. I'm glad you trusted your instincts to save yourself and protect your friend.

[@janwarner3475]

Babysitting my young, under 10yrs niece & nephew. Kids wanted to go to the mall. My sister-in-law was horrified that I told the kids if they wanted me to take them to the mall I first had to teach them how to stay safe. I taught them how to twist their arm to get away if anyone should grab them, how to unlock a car door, and back then when cars had keys, how to reck the ignition. You can't protect kids, you have you teach them how to be aware and survive.

[@beheard5640]

That is my story too- I’ve been in such bad situations as a teenager and only the Lord could have saved me… it’s so scary to be female and vulnerable. Thanks for telling your story- me too…

[@PropheticCoachTheresa]

Amen, it's only by God's Grace that I lived through much of the stuff I experienced in my teens, and some in my 20's. And 30's, 40's and even 50's. Praise the Lord, He is so faithful! Thank you Chynna. Love to all.

[@pinkrainbow1]

The Lord didn't save you. It was luck & chance. If you believe the Lord saves then you must believe the Lord kills and rapes young children because young children die and get raped. That's a fact and therefore you're saying it's all due to the Lord. No. That's not the Lord's job. He doesn't work that way. People die and get raped. You were blessed with luck. My man died so I know The Lord doesn't save. You have to learn to protect yourself in the future as an adult. You must make wise choices in your life otherwise no one is going to be saving you.

[@beheard5640]

@@pinkrainbow1 if I slap you - whose fault is it? It’s not God’s, I did that… yeah, it is incredibly sad when human beings choose to act evil and do mean and violent things to each other. That is not God’s fault- it’s the fault of the human being who made those choices. Jesus understands and was harmed and violently killed on a cross. Jesus was perfect, sinless, and went around doing good and healing people. Jesus was persecuted, reviled, beaten, made fun of… in fact Jesus suffered in all ways as human suffer without ever sinning. We live in a fallen, broken world. In the midst of that brokenness and depravity, God chose to become man and show humans what He meant by the words in the Old Testament. In fact, His life and death were written down and that is the New Testament. We know exactly what God is like because Jesus came and put skin on, jumbled Himself by coming as a baby, and showed us how to live, love, and how to die. We know this earth is not our real home and when we die our true life begins. When you ask Jesus to be your Savior and live in your heart, you must turn from doing life your way and do it His way, that is repentance, saying you no longer want to live life on your terms, confessing your sin, and then choosing to do life on God’s terms- we love people- even our enemies, we forgive people and bless. The Holy Spirit comes to live inside you and suddenly you have the mind of Christ in you and the Holy Spirit guiding you. And then you become the change and your love and living God’s way with Holy Spirit leading you - you start to change the world around you!

[@Sylviasdaughter-po8we]

Chynna, if you ever DOUBT Gods love for you, please watch this video as a reminder. He was with you, protecting you when you had no idea he was around. He gave you the strength to break your family mold. You found great love, love you had to fight to save and grow. He gave you a stable, loving home in which to raise your beautiful children. You gave them the greatest gift: 2 parents who loved each other and were physically there for them. Your children, due to God’s love for you and Billy, will NEVER repeat your challenges, and they will have the strength to live their lives in a healthy way. You have so many beautiful blessings, please don’t ever forget that.

[@Godisgreat-777]

I’m so sorry. You weren’t lucky, you were protected and blessed. Isn’t it strange how that generation of mothers… mine included, seem to believe “if we don’t talk about it, it doesn’t exist”. 🙄🤦🏼‍♀️It’s no wonder many from our generation are so messed up.

I still have flashbacks and moments of meltdowns from the memories. It takes courage to share what you have and I’m so grateful for this channel and for your honesty and sincerity ❤️

[@jolyn2133]

I’m bawling as I listen to this video of your horrendous experience. About a month ago, I was attacked and sexually assaulted by a man who owns a business in my little town. I was uncomfortable with the situation immediately because he got me alone in a room…. But I acted like everything was fine. The assault was lightning fast and it took my brain about 10 seconds to even realize what was happening. It was very surreal. Almost like I was outside my body watching it happen. He broke and bruised my lips. They were swollen for over a week. It was terrifying and I am in my mid 50’s. I can’t imagine going through something like that as a child. Thank you for sharing this experience. I’m struggling a little bit. The very thought of a man touching me or kissing me right now makes me physically Ill. Your prayers would be appreciated. Even as I type this, I’m shaking from remembering it. It really happened so fast and was so brutal, but thankfully, I was able to get away. I thank Jesus for that. I truly feel for any girl/woman that has to go through this.

Chynna, of all the incredible stories you’ve told over the years, this one really made me angry. If ever you needed proof of God’s grace, that was it. At the tender age of 12 he blessed you with his guidance and good sense to know how to react to a dangerous situation. Who knows how things would have ended had you panicked, or if your friend hadn’t chimed in that she wanted to join you. I am not a very religious person but THANK GOD you both escaped those monsters! I only wish that the mother had pressed charges.

Thanx for sharing your story Chynna. It's odd you are talking about this today. I was thinking last night that no matter the pain my dad caused me (he is visiting today), at least I was never molested by him or anyone else. I was telling my husband that I was in a few situations where I could have been but God spared me for some reason. The pain from parents abandonment is real and difficult even now that I'm a 56 and been a Christian since I was 26 but there is so much to be grateful for as you said Chynna. We live in a fallen world, but because of Christ we can rise above it and ultimately end up in eternity with the Prince of Peace!! ;)

You have great instincts and so often young people turn off those internal warning signals in lieu of what we think is common sense. We always have to listen to that internal voice, it's very important. I hope young women hear your story. Many young women don't make it out of these circumstances without tragedy occurring. Girls so frequently never want to tell anyone, as if they are at fault. Please young girls tell someone! You could be saving someone else from tragedy.

[@interstategar]

Sorry to hear about that horrific event in your life. when I was a kid I went through some abuse, and I used alcohol to deal with it, and also learned naturally how to disassociate and just zone out of I wasn't drinking. Disassociation is so pleasant that it can difficult to stop it, and when you realize what you are doing its scary, and you think to yourself, I must be completely nuts. I found out many years later its how the brain deals with PTSD, and not to blame myself for acting that way. Thank you for telling your story Chyna.

I always enjoy your videos, but was especially glad i watched a few this evening, as they always pick me up and inspire. I have been supporting several people in the Philippines for years, just something I stumbled into and by doing so found a source of faith and inspiration similar to what you offer so freely. They are poor beyond measure but enrich anyone who gets to know them, at least the ones who are caring do so. As I write this one of my acquaintances is living on the street, already facing violence and attempted rape, having been cheated out of at least three months rent which i paid for her apartment and having been treated viciously by the landlady and tenants there because she is ill and weak. She is 24, an orphan literally, and somehow put herself thru college to become a teacher, as she loves children. She was stricken last year with pernicious anemia and a serious heart condition, due to drugs her mother consumed while pregnant. I have almost bankrupted myself taking care of her as her medication and expenses are horrendous, but somehow just can't stop, as her faith in people is astounding. As terribly as she has been treated, she never says a bad word about any of them. I bring all this up not to be morbid but just to express how important your videos are to so many as well as your music. I was at the end of my day and in a funk when I watched this one and a couple of others, and it renewed my spirit to wake up tomorrow and attack this problem again. There is altitude in gratitude and force in faith, and your work helps remind us of that, thanks again.

[@marthaspence4167]

Thank you so much for your bravery in sharing this type of thing with us, Chynna! Frankly, I sincerely hope that your Mom has changed into a different person. (If not, it is very forgiving of you the way you say kind things about her in some of your videos.) If she hasn't PROFUSELY apologized to you for some things that she didn't help you with emotionally/physically (and protect you from) in your childhood, she ought to. And.... PEACE OF CHRIST!!

I am so humbled by your vulnerable candid sharing of so many life experiences. I have no doubt that Jesus works thru you to help others that have had similar or terrible traumas not feel alone. Love you Chynna 💗💗💗

[@maureenbennett1933]

Chyna, you are amazing. I have not gone through the same things you have, yet I feel connected to you, somehow. I think what got me about that story the most is that it happened in Seattle, and my daughter is planning to start college in Seattle in September.....while I remain on the other side of the Country.

[@maryborland5761]

Chynna I'm so sorry you and your friend were so unprotected and experienced this terrible situation. I'm so thankful for you. We all love you very much.

[@Susan18762]

How pretty you look with that beautiful white flowered plant (near the end)! And what a story - oh my goodness!! My heart was beating for you and your friend! I liked the 'book chapter' analogy of our lives - thanks for sharing, Chynna!

[@freeandfabulous4310]

That was a terrifying story. I moved out to Cali when I was 21 and can relate to being in very dangerous situations. You are so brave and a natural survivor and leader. God Bless!

[@beadyq]

i have a story to tell you all...my mother married a 26 year old when me and my sister were like 14 and 15 he took me and my sister out on a dirt road at the end of town in oklahoma and wanted to teach us how it would feel to be raped ..i remember me and my sister holding hands outside the car and praying like you wouldnt believe , my mom was a christian and all we knew was to pray, well God intervened that day and just a few days ago , me and my sister found this man on the internet and found he had done this to many other young girls, thank God my mom divorced him long ago and thank God for protecting us that day, wow amen

[@denisestockton8996]

I pray this helps someone who has buried trauma from similar situations. Love you for sharing.

[@kellybode4812]

Awh Chynna! I wish I could give you a big hug! I'm soo glad they didn't harm you any further. And run after you and Kaitlyn. YES ,people don't know what other people are going through. So we shouldn't judge! "PEACE OF CHRIST "!💜 🙏 ✝️

[@tamathagilbert5816]

Powerful life testimony Chynna. Your stories will help so many people. God Bless you for your grace in sharing your stories. Have a Blessed week and sending you prayers and kindness always.🙏🌼🙏🌼

[@tigre7739]

Love all the sharing the good, the bad, and the ugly. I believe a lot of us can relate, and it does help many feel not so alone in things, I believe. I do relate, by means of a terrifying experience, that is really along the same theme. I was 16, and spending the summer in a different state with family. Where I stayed at the time, had a nature trail that was a few miles long. I enjoyed walking it every afternoon I'm asthmatic, and I've never really been a runner, but love to walk, and walking the trail really helped my creative thoughts flow. One afternoon I heard someone walking behind me, but they wouldn't pass me, so bit by bit, I walked a little faster, without trying to appear panicky, and took a deep breath inside as the person got to the point where they were next to me and started talking. Just from the looks of them, I was very nervous inside, but tried to appear with normal reaction on the outside, and tried to converse without appearing nervous, it was very difficult. I knew that luckily I was not far from where the trail began and where I would end up back at, which was the parking lot of the apartment buildings where I was staying. As we approached it, I noticed that the person was a little more aggressive in their whole demeanor, and I don't even want to repeat the context of the conversation, but you can imagine. As we got to the parking lot, he said my car is right here, it was an old beat up car, and I could tell he was becoming a bit more bold and agitated, as I declined his invitation to join him. I felt as if he was about to reach out and grab me. My heart was pounding, and I believe I started having little flashes of family and things. and I prayed quickly inside. I think it all was in an instant, that seemed like a fast forward button had been pressed. Somehow without thought, I just blurted out, "oh there's my friend that's waiting for me", although in reality it was a complete stranger. I started to run slightly, and quickly got out of his sight. I hid behind one of the buildings, and slowly peeked out to make sure that he had left. I was very shaken at the time and I did not tell anyone, and really tried not to think about it. I did not go back on the trail again that summer. Eventually I think I had just pushed it down and away from my mind but, one time, years later when I was watching one of the shows that reenacts some of the terrifying real life stories about these things, it suddenly came back to me clear as if it was yesterday. When I think about it and realize exactly what was probably about to happen and could have happened, but didn't, by what I believe truly to be the grace of God, and although I did not like to think about it, and really don't, until times like this, I still have an overwhelming thankfulness to God for sparing me. Peace of Christ to you! 🙏❤️

[@victorfackler552]

Chynna, I am so sorry for the things that happened to you as a child. But, I want you to know that I am so inspired by you and your amazing life. You are a survivor! Your story continues to shock and amazing me. And when I think I've heard it all, I learn that you have endured even more... You were so strong and brave as a child, and even more so today. To come out and tell your very private story to the public is God's blessing to all of us. It has touched my heart and helped to change my life back to Jesus. I will forever be grateful to you for your bravery and faith. 🙏 ❤️ God bless you and I pray for you all the time...

[@Lily_1010]

Thank you for sharing these moments in your life. It speaks so much to not letting our bad experiences own us. I love that your mom was so respectful to you and she didn't force you to talk about it.

[@debrasmith6599]

All your experiences have made you such a fierce warrior and teacher.

[@SweetDreams706]

When I was around 12 a female classmate of mine came to hang out for the day. I barely knew her & can’t remember why she was invited, but nonetheless I looked forward to having another friend. After a while she called me into our laundry room where I found her pantless…she asked me to undress & perform a sex act on her. Shocked, I declined & asked her to get dressed. Needless to say this made me extremely uncomfortable….but I never told a soul. And looking back, hearing your story, I’m sad that we didn’t feel we could tell our mothers. As a mom myself I pray my kids felt (& still feel) they can tell me anything. I was also raped by an ex fiancé at 22. Never told a soul. I’m sorry that happened to you & your friend, Chynna…frightening! And I’m sorry your friend had to grow up with an alcoholic mother.

[@donnabruyere6793]

I would love to have been your friend when I was 12. You’re so real and awesome.

[@trishbaum6364]

I'm so proud of you. Ii takes bravery to work through this trauma and then be able to share it so others don't feel alone in their journey and help them. Thankyou 💜 God loves you and he knew the spark in you would help be his light for others.

[@queens6583]

I can't believe your parents did not report those men to the police. This probably wasn't their first time and who knows who else they would try to assault. I always say if it feels wrong and the hairs on the back of your neck are tingling, don't ignore the warnings. We women especially are afraid to acknowledge our guts and act upon those feelings in fear of making fools of ourselves or "hurting" someone's feelings. Thank goodness you came up with a rouse and ran.

[@beheard5640]

In the Eighties and Nineties that’s not really the way it worked to report sexual crimes… from a legal scholar there was no real crime committed except if those guys were over eighteen which I’m guessing they were… in trial the girls would have admitted they weee scared and under duress to appease the men they took off their clothes but no one would have believed them… the mom put the children in their care so there was no kidnapping. The girls willingly took off their clothes and participated until they could get away.. and prove why they had to participate… Chyna’s quick thinking and God used your street smarts to keep you first alive but then to get you out of a very dangerous situation… im so sorry you had to go through that but legally, at that time there was really nothing to be done without really re-traumatizing both girls by putting them on the stand and having them testify and try to prove what they were thinking. At that time courts and juries didn’t believe women… What was that Jodie Foster movie where she gets raped on a pinball table in bar with twenty witnesses, multiple attackers, and they couldn’t get a tape charge? And I’m pretty sure that was based on a true story. The legal system was very different forty years ago!

[@chrismoll6862]

I see you feeding people who really need your help and it makes you happy . Holy Spirit Blessings !

[@gigimac8459]

Chynna, I am in awe of you for sharing that story with us. You are so brave. All praise to God that he gave you the strength to run and protect yourself from those monsters. I was riveted by your story and before I knew it tears were running down my face. Sending hugs and love to you.

[@OToole2.0]

I think you are such a lovely person in more ways than one. You are a great help to so many. I'm so glad you turned into the lovely person you are, a survivor, and honest, loving, helpful and feet planted firmly on the ground.

[@HopeBonarcher]

Hey Chynna! What a scary story!!!! So sad, and countless girls and women have been through the same or similar things! It’s so good how obedient to the Holy Spirit and vulnerable with the world you are! You are SO loved and appreciated!!!!!

[@sheilalopez7498]

Chynna, you are such a tremendous encouragement!

[@ClintAdams]

Chynna, all your videos are excellent, but this one is the BEST!!! Thanks a million for sharing your story--and, yes--we've all got one (or more). And you do make us all less afraid of telling ours. My favorite quote: "Never judge anyone by the chapter you walk in on." EXCELLENT! Reminds me of the book that came out last year, "WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?" by Bruce Perry & Oprah Winfrey.

[@travelmom3031]

prayers for my child for healing. I really appreciate your spirit, Chynna! Praying for you to have strength and walk in power.

[@craniumlost6439]

Your story is so important why parents need to educate their daughters and sons, early by age 5 about how to avoid a bad situation and what to do if you can't. I couldn't even begin to tell you how many situations I had from the age 8 to 18 in the 60's and 70's that I managed to get out of unharmed. Being naive, perv's catching you off guard, teen hormones, attempted rape, drugs and just myself being stupid. I would also add guys with guns. My mother always told me it safer to be in a group which I did mostly, and my father told me never let a guy get you alone which works only if you don't like the guy, but it still helped.

[@antonellatotino2794]

Chynna, Thankyou for sharing your story. You are braver than you know. God has been by your side before you realized it. Your story maygave saved someone's life. Your messages from God are inspirational with a touch of laughter. Thanx Antonella

[@daughterofthemosthigh3366]

This is hard to listen to, Chynna! I am triggered by this bc many women have been abused by men at some point in their life including myself. I am so glad you and Kaitlyn got away to safety. Thank you for sharing this story. Your mom failed you big time when she asked about this and when you said you didn't want to talk about it, so she just lets it go. Do you see the message in that? This is why you struggle with painful feelings. Deep down in your heart you know your mom failed you. I am so sorry.

[@michellemybelle9591]

GIRL! God has been watching over you!!!! TY for sharing, you are truly helping people!

[@lorriesardinia5302]

Chynna, First, let me say, you tell a great story. You should think of writing, professionally. I felt so sad, hearing you tell but, I also feel that you have such a beautiful heart...how you took care of your friend. Just beautiful Chynna. xoxo

[@elizabethann8228]

[@fionaharland153]

God Bless You Always Dear Sister!!!! Peace of Christ to You Always, Love You Always in Jesus, Nancy

[@nopalciny8476]

I'm so glad you got out of there safely! Praise God. Its a big deal looking back on the past and how God was watching and working things out. Your friend was so lucky to have you with her who knows what could've happened otherwise. Its so sad. I'm glad you got outta there though thank God.

[@jodyvw.9741]

God bless you Chynna, that was really brave of you to tell that story! And thank God he was watching over you both. I know what it's like to be in a scary situation....thank you God for watching over me as well....💜🙏🏻💜

[@moderate1966]

I’m sorry your parents failed you as a child. If your mother took responsibility for her neglect of you, it would help you heal and put the burden on her where it belongs.

[@tiggy4750]

Rosebud. 11. Exactly, instead, her mother has chastised her and ‘silenced’ her for alluding to the fact that her mother may not have been as attentive as she should have been when Chyna was a child !!

[@jayniekinser7259]

Chynna has forgiven her mother and is living her into the kingdom. Her mom’s probably understanding of the difficulties. I’m a mom. I know how I dropped the ball sometimes. We keep moving.

[@moderate1966]

@@jayniekinser7259 You’re wrong. Her narcissistic mother has not taken responsibility as seen in her defensive behavior when Chynna speaks her truth. Her mother is more concerned about how she looks in the eyes of others than her daughter’s healing. There is no true “forgiveness” without a profound understanding and apology from the perpetrator.

[@rhonda8026]

Chynna, my heart goes out to you for all that you have been through in your life. It breaks my heart to hear any child going through situations like that. You were and are so brave. It's so wonderful how now you can tell your life stories and be preaching the gospel after all that you have been through and suffered, and you are helping so many people 🙏❤🙏

[@JerryAndJulieMusic]

You are a really good story teller. I could see the whole picture. God was there for you both an sent an Angel in the form of that lady driver. Glad it turned out well. Thanks for sharing.
