The journey begins!

Hello sweet friends!
I wanted to fill you in on the cool things that God is doing as I prepare to venture to South Asia this summer.

I've always had a heart for the nations and sought to do what I could to help those in need, but this summer God has given me the opportunity to go myself to South Asia to work with women who are victims of sex trafficking.

I will be there with a team of 6 people and although we can't yet disclose where we will be in South Asia and what exactly we will be doing, I can tell you that it will be intense in many aspects.  We will help to meet certain medical needs, emotional needs and share the love of Christ with these people in need.

I'd like to ask you to join me in praying for these people that we will be reaching, that God will be preparing their hearts now.

Also, I covet your prayers for my team as we undergo weekly training beginning in January up until we leave in May.
Please pray that we will have willing hearts and encouragement as we try to raise financial support to go.

Thank you so much for your prayer support.  By praying, you're helping reach others around the world! God is using you.
