Thailand Trip FAQs Pt. 1

Several of you are wanting to know more details about my trip. Thank you! I am touched by your interest. Here are two questions that some of you have asked:

1. Can you tell me more about the Safe Houses?

Women At Risk works with two Safe Houses in Thailand. These homes are places where women rescued from sexual slavery can live, learn about God's healing love, and learn a trade to support themselves. At these two homes, the women are trained to make jewelry, which is then brought to the States to sell at jewelry parties. The money goes back to support the women and the Safe Houses. I know there are more details that I will be able to fill in after I visit them.

***There will be a jewelry party at Immanuel Church in Holland on March 5. I will also be sharing about my trip. Mark your calendars and stay tuned...more details to come***

2. What will you do when you visit the Safe Houses?

We will interact with the women, worship with the women and learn first hand much more about how these ministries work and what they do. We will have a chance to pray with the women who run the homes and give them encouragement they need as they shine Jesus' light in a very dark place. We will also have opportunity to buy some of the jewelry the women living there have made.

One of the nights we will be putting on a banquet to pamper and love on the women. Becky McDonald (the President of W.A.R.) will give a message about being the Bride of Christ, so we are having fun running with a wedding theme. We will play some shower type games, have favors for each girl, and share a meal together. Many of the women living at the Safe Houses have made decisions to follow Christ, but not all. You can pray that through our times with them, and Becky's message, that women would be drawn to Him.

Keep your questions coming- it helps me to answer what you want to know!
