I am so thankful for all the moments I have been able to share with you
all, even if it has been only for a little bit. God has seriously blown my mind
with the places He has taken me and by all the people I have had the honor to
share my life with.
As many of you know, God has planted a
seed in my heart to be a missionary who travels the world. During my last
mission’s trip in Ensenada, Mexico, I asked God to show me something that
breaks His heart and that I would have a passion to work with as a ministry.
During our “Justice week” the topic of “Sex Trafficking” came up. Our teachers
showed us a video of a little girl being sold and forced to sleep with older
men. She also told us that Pornography is a huge reason why there is sexual
abuse and also why the sex trafficking business is so successful. Just hearing
this hurt my heart so much, especially because I have close friends who have
been victims of sexual abuse. As I thought about this it made me angry and
frustrated. How come something, that to most of the people in our society seems
harmless, is a factor that causes pain to many women and children all over the
world? It has become a personal matter now that my friends have been
victims.
What is my next step? What am I
supposed to do about this? I don't feel comfortable just sitting around when
there is something I can do about it. As I explained in my previous letters, I
want to study Communications with the missionary "University of the
Nations". I am praying that in September, God provides money for me to go
to Restenäs, Sweden, to take a school/class called "School of
Communication Foundations" (Which is part of my career plan.) During this
time I will learn how to communicate those ideas and passions to all the
different audiences in the World. I will also have to do a research project,
where I want to investigate about how Pornography affects Sexual Abuse and Sex
Trafficking, but most importantly I will also express God's heart in the
matter. By the end of my time in Sweden, I will share with you my entire
research project. The main idea with all this is that everyone knows about this
topic. I am eventually planning on starting a movement; I will inform you about
what God has told me to do when the time is right.
This is my plan for the next 3 months;
please pray that God provides me with finances and direction with this project
I want to start. Thank you in advance for your prayers, please pray for me as
much as you can! I always feel comfort when I know people are praying for me.
God bless ya'll
