This is the last morning we'll be at the Home of Hope. In a few months all of us will fill up the three HOH vehicles and travel to a Fijian restarant to eat, followed up with one final opportunity to shop for our families. Next will be an hour bus ride to a small resort where we'll spend the night and decompress ... Our need to process all that we've seen is great. The Lord has exposed our COC team to His heart for not only the Fijian people, but for the World. I liken this experience to being apart of a mission team 10-15 years ago in Africa being exposed to the Aids epidemic in its full scope ... knowing that no one in the World knows or cares, but has to see immediately. Home of Hope is literally the only credible ministry in the World that is attacking this issue head on. Because the awareness factor is just becoming awakened worldwide, there is very little emphasis being paid here.
This is Ground zero for the Sexual exploitation and Trafficking issue. It's happening worldwide. It's happening in our state. It's probably happening in our neighborhood.
If you or someone you know has ever viewed pornography, they and us have at one time or another been part of the problem. This issue is HUGE. Pray for us as we process this! This issue is not just our Mission Teams'. It's not just Fiji's. It's not just Vision Abolition's. It's the churches problem...mission...job...purpose. It's apart of the Gospel.
We're in this together. Love you!!! Isaiah 61:1-3
