Most of you know that we will be traveling back to India next week on another mission trip. We are so excited! This year there are 19 ladies going on the trip versus the 12 that went last year. Our itinerary is very similar with a few additions. About 80% of our focus will be ministering to girls and women that have been rescued from sex trafficking. The other 20% will be spent working with a school in a slum village in Udayan Pally.
We covet your prayers during the trip! If you would like to pray by name: Brenda, Lauren, Cheryl (my mom!), Kay, Jana, Rachael, Lalena, Susan, Bree, Melissa, Candice, Jan, Jill, Christine, Rebecca, Avery, Terri, Beth, and Cindy. We are taking 3 high schoolers, 1 college student, and 15 moms, including a couple of Grandmas! Fun!
If you want to know more about HOW girls are rescued from trafficking and what happens to them after they are rescued, watch this 12 minute video:
