Have you ever asked this question before?
You are not alone. Everyone wants to be loved. Every person longs to be seen, accepted, and cared for through good and bad, through ups and downs.
When this longing is not met, people look for it elsewhere.
That’s what happened to Daymeer Baetiong.
Born from an affair, he was raised in a family that never truly felt like his own. Surrounded by a world that wasn’t built for him, he carried the quiet pain of not belonging.
He sought acceptance elsewhere since he struggled to find it within the walls of his home and found it in friends who introduced him to alcohol.
“It felt like we were family. We were happy and complete,” Daymeer said.
Their drinking sessions became frequent, sometimes leading to moments of physical intimacy. One night, a friend in his 40s kissed him. Uncomfortable, Daymeer pulled away, dismissing it as drunken behavior. Yet, deep down, he believed physical intimacy meant love.
That belief was shattered when seven friends raped him and recorded it.
His innocence was stolen, his heart was broken, and his soul was tainted on that horrendous night. Worse, his so-called friends blackmailed him with the video, trapping him in an even darker reality—one where he became their sex slave for four years.
Has something similar happened to you? Have you also been betrayed by the people you trusted, and have looked for love in the wrong places only to be deceived and used?
No words could describe how broken and miserable Daymeer felt.
When it became unbearable, he decided to end his life to protect his family’s name.
But that night, he finally found true love.
The kind of love that doesn’t disappoint, a love that never fails or gives up—the love of God.
As he watched The 700 Club Asia, Daymeer felt overwhelming peace as he listened to Peter Kairuz talk about Jeremiah 29:11, and prayed along.
For the first time, he felt home. He felt truly loved.
Everything changed since then. He found a godly father figure who was a missionary and mentored him, and he also relied on the Prayer Center of CBN Asia.
“They became my safe place and prayer partner. They didn’t judge me. They allowed me to cry, share my story, and patiently listened,” Daymeer shared.
Now that he has experienced God’s love, Daymeer wants to guide others to Christ.
