Why I'm going to Thailand

Dear friends and family,

I’ve started this blog to share with you an amazing opportunity that has been presented to me. I have been invited to serve on a short term mission team to Thailand! While I have visited this country before as a tourist, this time I will be working with ZOE, an international Christian organization that rescues children who are at risk of being sold into prostitution slavery.

Nine out of ten children begging on the streets of Thailand are bought and sold for the sex trade. ZOE’s vision is to stop the human trafficking of children in our lifetime. It has been said that “evil prevails when good men do nothing”.

I am very excited about this opportunity to do something! We will be visiting children’s homes, rural mountain villages and the ZOE children in northern Thailand. Our top priority is to share the good news and love of Jesus with these children and those we come in contact with.

Humbled

I found out today that the money I needed to cover the airfare portion of this trip was provided for and then some! I don't know why I doubt God so much sometimes - I know He will move in the hearts of people as He sees fit. 

When I got that email I was really speechless - I did not expect to have that much of the cost taken care of so soon and while I don't know everyone who has given yet, I do know that my Mom was mostly responsible.  I am so blessed to have such a loving and supportive Mom!
