Getting Ready to Move

Hello, my friends!

I know it's been a while since my last blog. My apologies. I could say it's because "life happens" and that would be true. However, it would be a disservice to God and how He is getting me ready to move towards the vision and mission of my calling - F.R.E.E. Indiana.

If you noticed at the top of my blog, the header has changed from "A Voice for Freedom" to "Voices for Freedom". Why has it changed?  I'm glad you asked. It's changed because God has sent an army of people interested in getting involved with F.R.E.E. Indiana. One voice has now become many voices and I praise Him for it!  I asked God to send people with a burden and desire to help Find (R), Rescue (R), Embrace (E), Empower (E) the children, women and men enslaved by trafficking and that prayer has been answered.  F.R.E.E. Indiana will have it's first team meeting on September 29.  Let the work begin!

I write this blog not only to update you on the move in people's hearts to Say Something and Do Something, but to ask you to keep checking back in a couple of weeks as I travel to Atlanta to train with Out of Darkness, an anti-trafficking ministry connected with the Atlanta Dream Center. I will be in Atlanta from October 2-6 to not only attend one of their training events, but to also meet with their team and other people/agencies fighting the good fight in Georgia.

While I'm in Atlanta, I will be posting blogs to share my experiences and the work that's being done in Atlanta. Out of Darkness has rescued more than 100 women from trafficking, prostitution, etc. God is on the move in Atlanta!

One of my prayers for Atlanta is to have God show me the "big picture" of what anti-trafficking work looks like from the time a person is found and identified; to their rescue; all of the steps/work in between; and to the time they are placed in a safe house for the healing and restoration to begin. This kind of work has started in Indiana, but we need to do more.

It's time for the Body of Christ throughout Indiana to Say and Do Something to help free and restore those enslaved by trafficking. Our God is bigger than any trafficker; He is bigger than any obstacle that gets in the way; and He is big enough to provide all of the resources (i.e. people, funding, safe houses, services) needed to help those in bondage.

Your prayers for safe travel, protection as I go out onto the streets of Atlanta to do outreach with Out of Darkness; and more importantly, a clear sense of what God is revealing to me are appreciated.

Until Everyone is FREE.....
