August 15th deadline coming up! I need $1,500 to buy my ticket for Brazil Trip in 16 days  :)


I don't know how it's gonna happen, I never do on these trips. Every mission trip I go on, I come face to face with my weakness, bareness, & dependence on God.


Without God & His people giving & pouring into my life, I would be a much differerent person today. I am not the same girl that I was 5 years ago.


South Africa 2010 ~ I embraced women crying for freedom , I observed toddlers entertaining adult male tourists by posing with them in pictures and holding the money given to them, I stayed up all night outside of the brothels of Rosettenville, laid hands on a man in shock from a gunshot wound at a BP station at 3 in the morning, Got chased by angry pimps at 6 in the morning on our way home for the night, stayed in rat infested lodge for the night in one of the worst and most dangerous neighborhoods of SA... 


Poland & Ukraine 2011~ Talked to a film student about why he was handing out flyers of nude women, got led through a restaurant kitchen to the back door leading up to the door of a brothel, met some amazing nuns who care for rescued women and their children, I saw their faces, and we heard some of their stories, We visited an Aids hospital, worshiped on the Odessa Port and prayed for the women, We visited orphans and those who care for them....


And next is Brazil... there are children on the streets of Fortaleza and Recife being prostituted... the age of consent is 14yrs old... there are girls younger than that on the street. We will visit some of them that have been rescued, and we will visit even more who are still on the streets of Brazil.... 


I can't go without your help and I won't go without the Lord's blessing. I believe He has said YES. Now remains the question, "who will join me?" You have an inheritance in the things you sow into.


I invite you to join in the blessings that I know God will pour out from this trip. No matter how much or how little you are able to give, it counts and it matters!!! Please contact me if you are willing to give financially, or if you want to be a prayer partner!! :)
