Dear Supporters….

  I realize that this should have been done a long time ago, so I will not make any excuses but just say what needs to be said. I am extremely sorry and want to apologize for being such a terrible blogger, so terrible that my blogs are pretty much non-existent. I am sorry that I have not kept you all updated on my journey, ministries, and spiritual life like I should have been. I don't think I fully
realized what I was getting into as far as keeping in touch with you all, how often I needed to blog, to upload pictures, and to let you know that I was alive and well. So again I would like to say that I am very sorry for this negligence on my part, and I am stating right here and nowthat I am going to start blogging again. Not only am I going to blog about my current ministries in the last three months of my race, but I am going to go back and blog about all of the ministries I have worked with in the last six months. I want to say Thank You to all of you for everything you have done for me in the last 9 months! God has blessed me beyond words by each one of you, and I will never fully be able to express my gratitude to you. But I can tell you this, I love each and everyone one of you so much. I pray blessings over you and your families everyday! 

Just for a quick update!

I am currently living out the nineth month of my World Race in Doi Saket, Thailand! The ministry we are working with here is called Remember Nhu, and is a children's home for boys and girls who are at risk of being sold into the sex slavery trade. It has been an incredible, yet sad experience getting to work with Remember Nhu. I am so in love with each one of these precious children, and yet it is heartbreaking to know the real reason why they are placed in these homes. 
Back home in the States you hear bits and pieces about the sex trade in occasional conversations, but you never really know what is going on until you see it with your own eyes. When you hear about women being sold into slavery it saddens you, but only for a short time because you don't "really know them". At the beginning of this year I learned that there at 27 Million people in sex slavery today. Back then it was just a number, a huge number that makes people feel terrible, but yet to them it's still….just a number. Then you meet prostitutes, scantily dressed standing on street corners and in bars waiting to give their bodies away. You look into the face of an adorable 3 year old little girl, and know that she almost had to live that life. No longer is 27 Million people just a number. Its no longer JUST a number because you now have faces and names of people who are trapped in this slavery. Now its personal.
