Your testimony helps bring clarity, accountability, and truth to our investigation.

What to include in your report

  • Your name (or a pseudonym): Whatever you’re comfortable using.
  • Your contact info (optional): Email or phone — only if you’re open to being contacted for follow?up.
  • Date / approximate time: When did the event or experience occur? If you don’t remember exactly, an approximate timeframe is fine.
  • Location / context: Where did this take place (church service, small group, off?site gathering, etc.)? What was going on at the time?
  • Your account of what happened: Describe clearly and honestly what you saw, heard, felt, or experienced — your perceptions, actions, conversations, and any relevant details. Use first?person (“I saw…,” “I heard…,” “I experienced…”) so readers understand this is your firsthand account.
  • Impact / outcome: How did this experience affect you or others? Did it change your view, behavior, faith — or create concern for safety, accountability, or spiritual well?being?
  • Optional supporting info: If you have documents, messages, photos, or any material that supports your account (while respecting privacy of others), you can mention or attach them.

Note: By submitting, you give DCN permission to use your account (in whole or in part) for publication, investigation, or review. You may request anonymity or use a pseudonym if preferred.

We review all submissions with care and discretion. We understand that coming forward takes courage — thank you for helping share truth and shining light where it’s needed.
