Help end human trafficking by giving on World Day of Social Justice

Today is World Day of Social Justice!

I praise God that Grace Church seeks to help end human trafficking and to rescue orphans around the world through the partnership of Asia's Hope, G.R.O.W., and VisionTrust.  We partner to offer an end to slavery and a start to a new life.  We understand that a new start does not guarantee a good end always. But we want to show God's love and care for at-risk orphan children.  

Meeting at-risk children

Rather than be enslaved to hopelessness, our sponsored children are free to hope.  Instead of only nightmares, our sponsored children can dream.  

Many children and women are victims of human exploitation.  We are grateful that we can help rescue some of the most vulnerable from modern bondage.  

Juana with orphan child

One of my heroes is my co-worker, Juana Hernandez. She oversees the orphan care ministries of Grace Church. She helps coordinate the sponsorship of our sponsored children with Asia's Hope. We are rescuing 87 orphan children who would be most vulnerable for human trafficking and modern slavery.  I thank God for Juana's enduring efforts to care for the least, the last, and the hopeless.  

To help end human trafficking, please donate to our partners.  Giving offers hope that social justice prevails.

Rescuing Children At Risk for Human Trafficking

Team Hope International

 

It started with an extraordinary need. Hundreds of thousands of children in Southeast Asia, many of them orphans, being trafficked. Exploited. Raped. Some of them by their own parents.  The very people who gave them birth selling them for a buck. 

The need gave way to extraordinary passion.  One woman who found a way to help more than one of the least of these, and through her efforts, Team Hope International was born. Together with her husband, God is allowing them to help the helpless.

You can find out more by going to the Team Hope International website.
