Twenty Four

24.

24 children that were trafficked are now free. 

24 children that we had the privilege of holding hands with as they walked from their old lives of captivity and fear into new life full of hope and opportunity.

24 children are living today in a shelter that looks and feels like a haven, surrounded by beautiful trees and lush vegetation, and they are safe.

24 children are currently running, laughing, playing soccer, eating 3 meals a day, and learning.

24 children have their very own beds to sleep in every night.

24 children are learning what it means to be children.

24 children have changed my life.

They have been changing my life for 2 years, but seeing their faces made all the difference.
These 24 children have individual identities and unique gifts given to them by their Creator.
My prayer is that they will begin to dream about who they can become and who God created them to be and that they will recklessly pursue those dreams.
 To God be the glory for each one of these precious faces!
