The Tamar Project
.
The Tamar Project is based on the tragic story of Tamar, King David’s daughter, who was seduced and raped by her brother Amnon. After he raped her, he despised her and she became an outcast by reason of being raped. In Biblical times, a raped woman was considered unmarriageable and a forced marriage to her rapist was considered to be better than no marriage at all.
Old Testament Law states“If a man finds a young woman who is a virgin, who is not betrothed, and he seizes her and lies with her, and they are found out, then the man who lay with her shall give to the young woman’s father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife because he has humbled her; he shall not be permitted to divorce her all his days". Deut. 22:28 29. Amnon utterly despised Tamar and refused to marry her. Her life was then ruined. She could never get married. If she did she would be stoned to death. If she had any children outside of marriage, her children would be considered bastards and outcasts. She would have to remain single for the rest of her life, and live with shame, rejection, self-hatred and ridicule, and she would no longer be able to wear the colorful robes that the King’s virgin daughters wore.
There are still many Tamar's today who are or were victims of child abuse, incest, domestic violence, physical abuse, verbal abuse, emotional abuse, rejection by spouses, parents, friends and society. God loves them and wants to set them free so they can live fulfilled and prosperous lives.
The Tamar Project is the heartbeat of Apostle Lisa Sims, who overcame sexual, physical, emotional and mental abuse. Her ministry has seen many women and young girls healed and delivered. Lisa has 30 years of experience in counseling and ministering healing and deliverance to abused and battered women. She has a tremendous compassion for abused, hurting and abandoned women and children, a powerful anointing to heal the brokenhearted, and the mentally and physically sick, and to deliver those oppressed with demonic spirits. She has ministered deliverance and healing, both emotional and physical, to hundreds of marginalized, impoverished, sexually, physically, mentally and emotionally abused women and children in many nations. Many of them have gone on to become five-fold ministers and other productive men and women.
