…Because on June 5th I will get on a plane to lead a group of six college-aged women to Calcutta, India for two months!
(A picture of what life is going to look like very soon!)
Calcutta is the second largest city
in India. It’s considered “the intellectual and cultural capital” of the
country. With Calcutta ranking as one of the largest red-light districts
in Asia, prostitution is a grave problem. Many women from within the country as
well as from neighboring nations like Nepal are trafficked for the purposes of
sexual exploitation; others are forced to choose between their personal dignity
and their family’s survival.
Children are
objectified, too. Some are forced into hard labor, and some, as depicted
in Slumdog Millionaire are forced to beg – not for their
families but for a pimp.

We’ll be partnering with Asha Mission Children’s Home, a ministry
whose heart is to care for at-risk children. We’ll love on orphans- many who
have never felt the sincere love of another human before. This ministry aims to
provide an environment and opportunities that these children would otherwise
never know. A still growing ministry, the hope is to establish homes throughout
India, where each child is known, uniquely cared for, and given the chance to
flourish, be transformed and redeemed.
Our hope and our heart is to be the
hands and feet of Jesus to these children and each person we meet in India.
Please join me in praying for me and my team in these months
weeks leading up to our launch.
I need to raise $1500
for the cost of this trip. Please prayerfully consider partnering with me and
this ministry. To make a tax-deductible donation click the “Support Me” tab on
