My ministry and how to support me

I have always felt a strong burden and compassion for the spiritually lost and abused, especially women and children. God has prepared my heart for the mission field by bringing me through tough trials and making me stronger through my reliance on Christ. I am currently getting my degree in psychology/Christian counseling and will graduate in spring 2014. I will then be moving to Sofia, Bulgaria where I will be working to help rehabilitate both women and children who are trapped in the darkness of human trafficking.

Imagine sitting in a dark, cold room all alone; you’ve been ripped away from your family and have no idea where you are…complete silence except for the crying of girls you hear in rooms nearby. The next thing you know, 3 men are coming in to grab you and take you into another room where you are repeatedly raped and beaten. This goes on for days…weeks…months…you finally give up. You’ve lost your will to fight and your body no longer feels like your own.  You are then sold to another handler who then forces you to sell your body on the streets to anyone who approaches you. This is what happened to a girl I met on the streets of Bulgaria. You could see the pain in her eyes and the desire she had to be off the streets…yet she is trapped.

There are more than 27 millionother women and children just like M all     over the world. Did you realize that every 26 seconds a woman is sold into slavery for the first time? These women need our help. The team I will be joining in Bulgaria reaches out to these women and shows them the love of Christ that they don’t realize exists. They don’t feel that God loves them and feel as though they are worthless. We will be there to let them know that they are special and that we can help them. We want them to know that we will keep showing up to minister to themand show them the love of Jesus in hopes that the Holy Spirit will move them to follow Christ and get out of the darkness. You can read more about the Daughters of Bulgaria ministry that I will be joining here: http://www.mtwbg.com/DOB
