Hanging with the Creekside youth group

Last night I was able to spend some time with the amazing youth from Creekside Community Church. We talked about what human trafficking looks like in Eastern Europe and in the United States and we watched clips from the documentary Nefarious.

I felt extremely blessed to have been able to meet these girls and hear their hearts and help them understand what is happening in our world and how no matter what evils lie before us, God is bigger than them all and He loves His children.

One of the girls there, 16 years old, had not been to youth group in a while but felt led to youth group tonight by God. She has been praying about going into psychology and counseling and wants to work with women who are being trafficked. She had a lot of questions and we talked for quite a while. I'm hoping to be able to mentor her along her journey. Please pray for D that she stays on the path God has created for her, and she can distinguish between people who have her best interest in mind and those that do not,

Another girl there shared that 2 of her cousins were "in the life" and in desperate need of prayer. She said that learning about prostitution and trafficking opened her eyes and led her to understand what was happening. Please pray for her and her cousins.

Overall, this was a great experience and made me realize just how cool my job is as a missionary. I love being able to inspire others and share God's love. Missionary. Best. Job. Ever.
