Hello everybody! I hope you’re doing wonderful…and Happy Thanksgiving! I just returned from Southeast Asia with Life Outreach International, overwhelmed with gratitude for all the Lord is doing through our warrior mission partners in the fight to end human trafficking. I had the profound privilege of sitting in sacred spaces with those who have been rescued, those being restored, those clinging fiercely to hope, and those walking the road to healing.
This journey was emotionally challenging. Every day, I listened to story after story of how human trafficking had stolen innocence and joy from so many precious lives. One night, while walking through the red-light district, I stopped, overwhelmed by the weight of it all. I stood outside a place called Bar Lucifer and it felt like I was right in the thick of a battle between light and darkness. My spirit would NOT back down. I could feel the fight within me—to stand for those who belong to Jesus, to be their voice, and to fight for them every single day!
This mission was a testament to the power of Gods redemption and the beauty of His restoration. It left me profoundly grateful yet deeply moved by the unimaginable darkness these children have endured. I’m forever motivated to make an impact with purpose!
Despite the challenges I faced on this trip—catching a cold that led to a fever blister on my lip, losing my voice to laryngitis again, and even breaking my arm after a fall on the wet tile in my hotel room—I refused to give up. I recognized these setbacks as a spiritual attack, knowing full well that the enemy of my soul despises both me and the work we were doing there.
So let me leave you with this…WE VICTORIOUSLY PREVAIL! The enemy can assemble every weapon he desires, but JESUS WILL HAVE THE FINAL WORD! And in the meantime, His people will relentlessly rise, building an unshakable army to reclaim the darkness, wherever and however we can!
