Earlier this year I felt compelled to investigate mission opportunities in South East Asia: specifically the work of Destiny Rescue. DR are a Christian organisation committed to fighting human trafficking in a number of our poorer Asian neighbours.
It has taken until now to book and pay the deposit on a two week mission experience. I will be in Cambodia and Thailand from 23 October to 7 November visiting rescue homes where young girls (eight years old is not uncommon!) rescued from brothels are housed, fed, educated and loved.
I have applied for leave from work and while this has been granted, I'm not entitled to any pay during the period I'm away.
I have started this blog to allow family and friends to stay up-to-date with the planning, the trip and the impact of the trip as it could just be the beginning of something much bigger :)
If you would like to become part of the adventure I would appreciate your participation through prayer, financial contribution and emails of encouragement as I don't mind admitting that I'm going to need plenty of all three as well as the unlimited grace, mercy and provision of God to see this through.

Watch this space for updates and may God bless you as we reach out together to the precious young girls of Cambodia with God's love.
Hi Sue, this is the second time I've tried to leave a message, we'll see if it works this time!! I fight with these things.
ReplyDeleteSo good to hear from you and also to see you're helping rescue these kids. We have a friend who's also involved and I'll send her your email. We're grandies twice now, with two little girls. Bless you lots.
