For those interested in anti-human trafficking...prayers appreciated

This week I have received some kind of miraculous motivation to get moving on the Anti-Human Trafficking Initiative at our church.  I've been chatting with some amazing people and learning so many things.  God is moving and I am on FIRE!  With that said, tomorrow my husband and I are attending a very important meeting with two people that are involved in hands on work with victims of HT.  They want to help us in our efforts and are graciously allowing us to be a part of their work for the day. I am so excited that I want to pee myself.  (I won't...I promise).  Will you pray?  Pray that God goes before us and shows us exactly the steps that we should take next.  Pray that we have clarity and unity.  Pray against the enemies plans to thwart our efforts as he is already scheming to create confusion, fear, and complacency.  

I can't wait to report back to you.  

Taking some steps...

God continues to open doors and facilitate connections for me in this venture.  He also has closed doors.  Something that seemed so perfect and so right...and it's not happening.  So, on to plan B...and I'm very excited to hear what plan B is by the way.  Or, perhaps my plan B was God's plan A all along?  Who knows.  Part of what makes me nervous about this whole thing is the knowledge that God will stretch me and the enemy will fight me.  The pessimist in me is feeling very confident at the moment.  So, I will keep taking some steps.  In the meantime...want to look at the cute kids that are cheering me up today?

The Adventure Continues

Do you know that Human Trafficking is occurring in our own city?  On Saturday, a group from our church met with a lady who is a first responder to victims of Human Sex and LaborTrafficking/Sexual Assault in our county. This person was personally involved in the rescue of a people in Elyria, Avon, and Lorain...among others.  Do you know that traffickers made use of a hotel in Elyria?  Do you know that a person was a victim of labor trafficking at a restaurant near the mall?  The purpose of the meeting was to learn about what is being done in our area to combat HT and where our church can help to fill in the gaps.  The overwhelming response I keep getting from these meetings is "YES, we need and welcome your help!"  I'm continuing to do research on the topic.  I'm continuing to pray about what specifically God is asking me to do.  Right now, I am harboring some radical ideas.  I'm not ready to share them...because I have a tendency to think (and sometimes act) impulsively.  Will you join me in prayer?  My requests are that God will give me clear direction as to the steps that I need to take.  Another request is that he will prepare a team that will work with me.  (Is that you?)
