Sex trade is the fastest growing crime in the world today. In Cambodia, girls are being pressured by their own families to go into the city and sell themselves. In fact, ninety percent of the prostitutes in Cambodia are selling themselves because of their families. My heart breaks when I hear this: to know that a girl is being told sell her body, to know this is how she is finding her worth, this breaks my heart.
Over the last two years I have grown restless towards this injustice. At the same time I long to see these girls find their true worth in Christ. The Lord has been softening me toward how girls are influenced by the world. By going to Cambodia, I hope to build relationships with these girls. I will be going with a team of 3 other from the states to live life them. Our vision is to show them a God who loves them and finds them worthy.
If they decide to walk away from prostitution I will be able to connect them with an organization called Daughters of Cambodia (www.daughtersofcambodia.org). This ministry will provide them with counseling, education and job skills, as well as empower them to walk in the freedom of Christ, and no longer have to sell their bodies.
I am asking you to be apart of my team by supporting me prayerfully and financially. If 60 of you will give $25 a month, I will be fully funded to go and help for two years. Will you join me in this?
I am committed to updating you regularly through email updates and through my blog meredithtrlica.myadventures.org.
