Freedom Sunday
Mar 12th
March 13th is Freedom Sunday. What’s that? I’m glad you asked. Well…
* Because there are more people enslaved today than at any other point in human history.
* Human Trafficking is the world’s 3rd largest criminal enterprise (after drugs & weapons). About a $32 billion dollar business.
* An estimated 600-800,000 children, women & men are trafficked across international borders annually.
We feel we need to do something to Stop it!
The biblical story is all about freedom. The story of the “Exodus” was about freeing the Israelites from Egypt. Jump into the NT & you find Jesus teaching about it in the Temple (i.e.) “setting the captives free!” Become a modern day abolitionist. Every individual has a skill to contribute. Dare ask…what will I do?

<– my fav pic of diff statues in Thailand. Looks like me after Sushi.
I appreciate you praying for Greg G & Myself as we fly out on Sun eve to Thailand. I have the privilege of being “guest speaker” for Partners Relief & Development’s staff & families at a resort in Chiang Mai, Thailand. PTL no hiking this time!
Included below is our itinerary that we’d appreciate you praying through daily. Greg & I have had the privilege to travel to many places together in our world. He is truly my armor bearer. Drenching me in prayer, always an incredible asset to me as a right hand man, always used by God in the lives of those we get to minister to.
The theme of our conference is on “Gardening”. Which, the bible is full of great verses on this topic. Gal.6:9 NLT So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.
