India in 5 Days

I am taking a break from telling the stories of the girls today. We leave in 5 days. I can't believe how time has flown and we are preparing to leave. I am excited to tell you that with your help I have raised all of the funds needed to go in this trip.

THANK YOU, from the bottom of my heart. My life has been touched by each of you who got involved in this. Know that you are impacting lives around the world and not just helping me go on a missions trip.

This trip has truly been a journey for me and it has not even started yet. As of two weeks ago I was not sure that I was supposed to be going on the trip. I wanted with all my being to go, because I wanted to see the girls we traveled with and I wanted to see first hand what God is doing. I also have a huge heart for the women in the Red Light district who need restoration. But I felt some unease and went through a week or so of questioning whether I was supposed to be on this trip. I believe it was a challenge from God to make sure I was seeking His face.

I am so looking forward to getting on the plane to begin the next leg of this journey. Please keep the team in your prayers. Pray for travel, health, and that we will be open to how God wants to use us.

There is a huge problem taking place around the world that we usually don't see or hear much about. The problem is Human Trafficking. Each year it is estimated that 2 million woman and children are trafficked all around the world. Last July, Oliga and Trisha had the opportunity to meet 8 ladies who have been rescued and have incredible stories of restoration. It is heartbreaking to hear what is taking place in many countries and pain these woman go through on a daily basis. This problem became heavy on Oliga & Trisha's heart. So this summer they are working with a ministry in Mumbai, India that rescues women & children from the red light district. Mumbai is the second largest city in the world and has over 100,000 women & children in the red light district. The ministry's goal is to put an end to Human Trafficking. The women and children they will be working with have incredible stories of restoration. The trips goal is to gain a larger awareness of what is taking place, see how others can get involved to put an end to human trafficking, and collect stories of restoration. It is impossible to do this by ourselves.
