Preparing for Urbana, Recruiting for Slave Project

We have been very busy preparing to leave the day after Christmas for the Urbana Student Missions Convention in St. Louis. One of our big goals is to recruit help for our African anti-slavery initiative. We are looking for two women who can partner with our African staff women in rehabilitating and discipling former trokosi slaves. We can also use someone who could organize vocational opportunities as part of that rehabilitation, a school director and a director for our children's home where we welcome children of former trokosi who need a safe, loving place to stay for any length of time.

These needs are urgent. Would you pray with us that God would bring us the right people?

Ghana Staff Training on Child Trafficking

I just returned from Ghana where one of my jobs was to train all our staff on issues related to child trafficking. As part of the workshop, the staff compiled a list of all trafficking situations they were aware of in each of their areas. It was a challenging list, indeed. We also role-played asking questions to investigate possible cases of trafficking. Now they have all been charged with watching for and reporting all possible incidents of child trafficking. Our organization, Every Child Ministries, hopes to get more involved and to help some of these children. Please pray that the staff will remember and actively use all they have learned.
