Unveiling the Truth

It's been a long time since I've written here on this blog, but that doesn't mean I've quit writing! I find it easier to express myself in my journals, and then I am free to write whatever is on my heart without the whole world being able to view it. It is then between my God and I.

I have a renewed purpose for writing and giving updates for you, my friends, to read. As many of you know, I am going to be in Thailand with a group of women from Women at Risk, International, and we will be there 11 days visiting and ministering to several safe houses of women, as well as an orphanage for at-risk young girls. This will be an entirely new experience for me, and I would be ever so grateful for your prayers as I embark on this new endeavor God has opened for me. I will be writing some basic information about Women at Risk, and their ministry to women across the planet.

Women at Risk, International seeks to wrap arms of love around wounded women to offer a message of hope and clothe them with dignity to restore their lives. Their passion as a ministry is to give voice to the silenced cries of women of the world and offer a safe place to turn crisis into a story of hope.

"When one turns to the
Lord, the veil is taken
away...Where the Spirit
of the Lord is, there is
freedom...We with
UNVEILED FACES
All reflect the
Lord's glory!
2 Cor. 3:1 6

Whether here in our own neighborhood or somewhere across the ocean, Women at Risk provides safe houses and women's centers for shelter, as well as education, job skills training, and life skills. All across the world women are being enabled to work with dignity and provide for themselves. These women are finding hope and an ability to dream again, as the God of the impossible delights in the opportunities where He can bring us TO HOPE AGAIN.
