Your son turned 5 today!? The youngest of 6 children. He's growing up so quick you can hardly believe it. I can't beleive he's 5 already. That means he's ready!… no, no, no, he doesn't need pre-school. He won't need to be able to read or write in the brothel.
He's ready to be sold as a woman! Ready to be passed from man to man. Used as an object. Torn apart and sewn back together over and over.
Great news though! This means you can save the lives of your other 5 children. You can buy them real food, food with nutrients for the first time in months. You can afford to live a little bit longer.
This may not be your reality but this was someones reality TODAY…and tomorrow and for all the todays and tomorrows to come.
I've heard greusom stories, sat through seminars, read about, and researched human traffacking but no matter how many stories I hear my stomach still twists, my heart races, a mix of pain, anger, sadness, disgust, and disbelief, shoot through my body as if it's something I'm hearing about for the first time.
In 11 days I will be leaving all my comforts of safety, friends, family, church, money, health, food… and I will travel to 11 countries over the next year.People keep asking me if I'm ready and I excitedly say yes without really thinking about it.
But all too soon, I know, I will be face to face with the horrors I just described. Except now the stories will have little hands and feet and faces and names… hurt that I can see and tears that may be close enough to wipe away.
I've been searching my heart today for the real answer to whether I'm ready. So I guess my answer is NO. I'm not ready to wittness this but I'm willing. I'm willing to go where God is leading me. I'm willing to be broken and torn for this world and I'm excited to rejoice in the victories and beuties along the way as well. I'm willing to let the realities of this world come crashing down on me so that I and everyone back home can be moved, touched, and changed by my experiences.
It is my prayer that everyone back home would read what God lays on my heart and be changed. This adventure is not just about me. Every person who reads and every person who supports me is a part of this adventure with me! This mission would not be possible without everyone. Thank You and please feel free to share my blog.
Here we go!
I'm still in need of $10,000 more support to be able to stay in the mission field for the full year so if you would like to support me please go to

Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" And I said, "Here am I. Send me!" Isaiah 6:8
