A Closer Look

I have 23 days until I will be stepping on the plane and diving into the mission God has sent me to in India. With school coming near end and the stress that comes with it, I cant help but stop and thank God for the blessings he continues to pour in my life! This trip is one of them, and you are each part of this blessing! I am so encouraged by the letters and support I have received, it brings a greater purpose to this mission. Thank You!

"Praise the Lord, How good it is to sing praises to our God! How Pleasant and fitting to praise Him! " Psalm 147:1

Some more insight on the trip/ Things to keep in Prayer :

Media : We will be working on a Documentary while we are there (Which is great practice for my Public Relations major!)

Slums : Community Empowerment

Brothels : Visit, with Oasis ( Organization we are working alongside)

Halfway Home : Interview and spend time with Women/Girls who have been rescued

Salvation Army Home for Kids : Spend time with the Children :)

Boys AIDS Home : Spend Time with Boys whose mothers are strictly prostitutes

----Up to 96% of women in prostitution want to escape but feel they can’t. – United Labor Organization

----A child is trafficked every 30 seconds. – UNICEF
