I love Thailand, its beautiful, the people are great, there is so much to do and see for so little money. Thailand is also a place where women and children are sold, you drive by brothels every day, its socially acceptable for a man to go to a brothel and cheat on his wife. I've become suspicious of every single white man on the streets that he is a John, I've seen children and young women with men that are clearly frightened. My heart breaks over and over. I don't think there could be a worse fate than to be sexually enslaved to strangers who rape, beat and hurt you until you would rather die than live, yet here its so common.
I am working with an organization that prevents this horrible fate from happening to these amazing, bright beautiful children. Giving them a chance to live a life of honor and integrity, free of abuse and enslavement. Giving them hope in Jesus, the love of so many, an education, support to be whatever they want in life.
My heart is changed, my eyes are opened, not only to this horrible thing, but also to the privileged life I’ve led. I was never wealthy or handed everything, I’ve always worked hard for everything. When I say privileged I mean I never was afraid I would be sold I never had to fear a life of slavery, I always had a choice of what I wanted to be and do. So many kids here don’t have the privilege of freedom, their innocence is taken by force and they are wounded in the worst possible way.
I am here doing all I can to be a small part of helping the prevention of this, my life is forever changed by this experience. My next stop on this journey is Malaysia whatever it is that God has in store for me, I don’t want to miss.
I am in need of $7461.00 to be fully funded and I need $2959.00 by December 1st to continue on. God has shown up over and over financially for me on this journey and I believe he will continue to provide. This is where I am suppose to be, growing in awareness of the world and of Gods heart, falling in love with beautiful little faces, growing in character, letting the hard things come to the surface and dealing with them, and making a positive difference whether its by letting a little girl paint my fingernails, chopping down trees with a machete, praying for healing, or rebuking the enemy.
Let me be your hands and feet in the nations. Help me continue this crazy amazing work, through prayer and financial support. Thanks and blessings. Sending my love home.
