| My friend Kimberly with I.Dignify on her last trip to Asia caring for orphans |
We had our first planning meeting for this trip and there are 11 of us going. We will be arriving first in Thailand and staying for several days. Then head over to two other countries in Asia for the remainder of our trip.
Our flight leaves April 1 and we will return on April 20.
B& K of I.D. WE are limiting identification on this trip for security reasons.) will be leading us on this trip and they are awesome friends who are changing the world! When I think of Justice Heroes, I think of them! They are making a huge difference in the life of so many people and girls who are caught in sex- trafficking.
I am including a long excerpt from an I.D.'s newsletter that will tell you a little bit about what we will be doing in Asia. I ask that you partner with us in anyway you can!
"While in Asia we will be working with, training, equipping, and ministering to women and children that have been rescued out of trafficking as well as the staffs onsite at the organizations that are pouring their lives into their restoration. We will be holding workshops for the staff, doing arts and crafts with the kids and holding worship services with over 200 rescued children.
In T. we will be bringing the gospel of Jesus to a people group who have very little exposure to His word or even who He is. In this area of T. less than 1% of the population has heard of Jesus and so we will have opportunity to go into the tribal villages and bless them, and love on them. We will also be doing a drama for at risk children who work in the trash dumps.
In C. we will be visiting several orphanages and rescue homes for children. Our team will receive training from a man who has done thousands of personal rescues himself and we will also be ministering to a rescue home where the women are making purses which Macy’s is going to begin selling, allowing their home to be self sustaining. We will also be ministering to multiple highly persecuted churches.
In V. we will be visiting some more homes with medically fragile children and also a drug rehab home and cancer ward with over 200 kids in one very small ward. We will also be ministering to tribal villages where Jesus raises dead ones on a regular basis as there is no medical doctor or facility nearby! We will be doing water sanitation and street ministry in the red light districts. We can't discuss some of the details of our trip because of safety concerns for believers there and organizations there but please know we need your prayer coverage.

Please consider sowing into this incredible trip, as it is through people like you that it is possible for us to go and be a blessing! To give you an example of how simple and practical the need is, because unsafe drinking water is the second highest killer of people worldwide, we are bringing filters that cost around $50 a piece. The filter provides clean drinking water for 50-100 people for life! It needs no filter replacement & no maintenance! The more we are able to bring with us, the more people will have access to clean, safe drinking water.

We are also in great need of intercessors to cover us in prayer as we venture into these places.
If you will be partnering with us in prayer please email me back and let us know what the Lord has put on your heart to pray for us and the time commitment you are able to make, even if it is simply 15 minutes a day! Your prayers are our covering, they go before us, behind us, and work through us!

- Blankets for the babies (handmade or not) as none of them will have them.
- Toys, dolls, coloring supplies. E.g. balls that can be deflated and then blown up on the other side (Please get things that are small and light where possible as it allows us to bring more to children.)
- Small journals for rescued girls to write in. You are welcome to decorate the covers, just use caution with using Christian terms for safety and English words, as they will not be able to read them.
The Items below are ones we will purchase before leaving and/or once we get there.
- Powdered Milk for the kids in the cancer wards
- Water filters for water sanitation - these only weigh a few oz and each one can give 100 people clean water for life! $50

Many of these rescue homes will give us coconut water, snacks etc. while we are there and this can cost them money so we will also be giving them offerings to at very least, offset the cost of our supplies.
