The call is simple

Psalm 82:3 Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; maintain
the rights of the poor and oppressed.

The call is simple. Defend the fatherless. But can we do it? Not alone.
But with Christ, we can do all things. I'm not saying it will be easy.
I can't imagine what the people of Love146 do,
going into brothels and rescuing girls. I can't imagine the anger, fear
and pain they see. But they are following God's call to defend these
girls who are being oppressed. And God is helping them and giving
them strength. And whatever God is calling you to do, be it in a
foreign country, or right at your home, God will not leave you alone. He
will give you strength.

God bless!

Serey's story: Love 146

Wow. This is an amazing story of hope and healing. Love 146 is doing an amazing job of rescuing and restoring these precious children and giving them life back. And this trafficking does not just happen over seas. It happens every day, every night right here in America. It happens to young young children living out on the streets. Children who are enslaved and who are terrified. Children filled with shame. Young girls who are lost and afraid. Children who are treated like garbage by pimps and people who use them like commodities. But there is hope for these girls. Love 146 is out rescuing children. There are also many other homes rescuing these children off the streets. And Jesus loves them. He is there for them. He is there to give them hope. Check out Love 146 and find out more about sex trafficking and what can be done. God bless!

Thank YOU!!!


Ok... so I have been super encouraged and blessed by all of YOU my readers! I am encouraged to write more when I see all the people and states and countries who have followed or read my blog. I am excited to see God using this little blog to reach others and raise awareness about these orphaned and poor children who are too precious to be forgotten or ignored. It will be cool to see what happens with this blog as I get ready for Africa :) God bless and thank you thank you thank you!!! God bless!

All things work together for good

Here is a really impacting post from a friend of mine who is working with a Trauma team in Uganda right now. She is working at Watoto children's home and I am so encouraged so see how God is working in and through her. :) It is hard to read some of the things that go on in this world because of sin but I love to meditate on Romans 8:28. Have a blessed week! God bless!
