Calling prayer warriors big & small...

Where 2 or 3 are gathered....


He is there in the midst of them. 

Scripture is God breathed, so I will stand on the truth that He hears each prayer and because of this verse I'm going to ask you to join me in praying. 

In October of 2011 the Lord began breaking my heart and calling me to serve. Calling me to GO! So in December of 2011 I sat down with my family and asked them to support me where the Lord is leading me. He's leading me to Ekisa, to serve and love and be changed forever. 

I've officially been accepted to serve at Ekisa in Uganda, Africa in the summer of 2013 but I need prayer about several things, first I'm praying that the Lord will provide a traveling companion so I won't be traveling from the states to Africa alone and second that the Lord will financially provide for all my needs.

Please join me in praying for a traveling companion & financial needs.

Bringing Freedom to the least of these...

Human Trafficking IS modern-day slavery
In 2010 the Lord broken my heart as I heard that girls here in the United States were being held against their will and being sold and/or traded for someone else's pleasure. It made me sick and when I heard that I needed to talk about it - I KNEW that was something that I could do. So I began talking about it, talking to classmates, family, friends, Scottish Rites, my church family, anyone who would listen I would tell.

This morning I was approached by a lady who heard me speak several months ago about the issue of Human Trafficking and about an organization that has stolen my heart. Their mission is to advocate and restore girls who have been caught in Human Trafficking, they have set out to raise awareness that Human Trafficking exists and that it can be ENDED in our lifetime. 

She walked toward me and said, "My niece was approached by a guy on the internet who was in his late 30's she ran and told her mom and her mom contacted police, they caught the guy. But if I hadn't heard ya'll speak - I wouldn't have known and I wouldn't have shared with my family." and THIS is the reason that I continue to speak out, and continue to speak about the issue that no one wants to talk about or hear about because it isn't pretty. THIS story makes me smile and rejoice because lives are being changed and girls are being saved because these men are being brought to justice! 

& I will continue to speak out until all of Human Trafficking is extinct and no longer in existence. 
TALK ABOUT IT - It changes lives!
