The former sect child who helped expose paedophiles
Published By admin with Comments 0
It was an unusual childhood.
At 12 years old, Colin Mee found himself transplanted from suburban Christchurch to an evangelical Christian school in the remote Eastern Highlands of Papua New Guinea (PNG), rife with racism, emotional, physical and (he later discovered) sexual abuse.
He remembers thinking ‘What are we doing here?’. He asked his dad why they didn’t go home. His dad replied: “Because we are doing good work.”
Not just good work, but God’s work, his father believed. Colin’s parents Michael and Mary were committed members of the obscure New Tribes Mission (NTM) sect, whose goal was to reach remote communities, convert them, and teach the Bible as a literal truth.
