Wipe Every Tear Trip

I have had an interest, actually much more than an interest, I've had a burning deep inside of me to help those whose lives have been impacted, redirected and destroyed by human and sex trafficking for the last couple of years. Some time ago, I joined an organization/ministry here in the Twin Cities that ministers hope and provides resources to women caught up in the sex trade and strip clubs, many who have also been trafficked. It has been an amazing honor to be a part of this ministry, as part of the intercessory prayer team as well as sitting on the board.

I've had a desire to do more, and connect overseas and now I have that opportunity by teaming up with an incredible organization in the Philippines called Wipe Every Tear! I will be taking my first trip there in April, and am currently looking to raise the funds to cover as many of the expenses as possible. The trip will have a total cost with airfare of  of $5,000-$6000. Any amount that might be above and beyond the actual expenses for the trip will go directly to the organizations. This an opportunity to be a part of something that is significant to the heart of the Father! I am so incredibly excited to be a part of this mission and cause, not just for what I can do and add as a team member, but also for what I will learn and experience and bring back with me that will better equip our local ministry, "Beloved". 

Your donation, no matter the size, will further the cause and the reach of Wipe Every Tear as well as help me personally to become a part of this upcoming trip. Please consider supporting me in this amazing and God ordained cause to help rescue women and children that have been put into slavery and bring the hope that they may otherwise never find. Below is an excerpt from my social media post...

"I'll be heading to the Philippines soon for two weeks, working with an AMAZING organization, rescuing trafficked women and children caught in the sex industry there. The Philippines has one of the largest victim populations in the world with an estimated 784,000 people living as modern day slaves. The prostitution of children in the Philippines, often controlled by organized crime syndicates, continues to increase each year. It is also one of the largest known sources of online sexual exploitation of children. Many are sold by their own families 😢 My heart is broken over these devastating statistics, and the realization that these "statistics" are innocent women and children, God's children. If you'd like to be a part of supporting this cause, and helping me go on this trip, please feel free to contact me directly! I am hoping to raise about $5,500 for this trip, so your financial support would be very much appreciated, and equally important are your prayers as I prepare to go, and of course once I'm there! Like someone said to me, "His will, His bill". 😄 I have no doubt that God will provide every need for this! I'll post updates as I have them. I am seeing more clearly every day what retirement is most likely going to look like for me! ❤️🙏"

Thank you and God bless you!
