Hey there! Been a while since I've updated - something exciting I want to let you know about.
In October I introduced our Her Hands project, The A21 Campaign, to the church. We are so excited to be partnering with them by raising funds to help provide restoration to women who are rescued from human trafficking and the sex trade.
My heart is stirred when I hear that God's beautiful women, created in His likeness and with His purpose, are being devalued and held captive. Even if one woman is not free to know and worship Him it is NOT okay.
The A21 Campaign is based in Greece a hub for human trafficking in Europe and the Baltic region. They have gained favor with local police departments and government agencies and offices and are often among the first to be called when women have been rescued through sting operations. A21 takes these beautiful but hurting women and helps put them on a road to recovery and restoration. They give them medical treatment, legal counsel, psychological services, provide them with a safe place to live, clothe and feed them. Most of these women have had no contact with their families or the real world for large lengths of time. Their families may even think they are dead. A21 sets about helping them to establish legal identity again and make contact with their families.
The hearts of the amazing women of Cornerstone have been stirred as well. They are looking at what God has placed in their hands - what do they have or what can they do to raise extra cash to sow into The A21 Campaign. They are hosting parties, organizing Stiletto Walks, bake sales, cleaning houses for the holidays, running marathons and much more. I am so proud and thrilled to see them rise to the occasion. Each one of us does what we can do and when we put it all together it becomes a very BIG REACH that will help to set women free.
Here's something exciting...the strong men of the house are joining our efforts too. Love that!!
As we enter into the Christmas season let's remember the reason we celebrate. God the Father sent Jesus His son as a gift to us. A gift that would make way for our complete freedom. Freedom to worship, freedom to know Him personally, freedom to enjoy all that the Kingdom of God has to offer. We have an opportunity to provide a safe place of natural freedom for one of God's most beautiful creations...His girls! In opening that door of freedom to them we also open the door of opportunity for them to experience the ultimate freedom only found in Christ.
Hey girls...maybe Christmas dinner ought to be provided for a small fee this year...all proceeds going to The A21 Campaign of course. Smile!!
