Send Me to Nepal!
In 2010 I traveled to Nepal with a team of youth. We backpacked through the country helping a local group called the Nepali Rescue Project. The Nepali Rescue Project has been an extension of my church since 2006 when my pastor, Eric Watt, listened to a friend and took action against the epidemic of sex trafficking in Nepal.
Human trafficking is the trade in humans by forcing or tricking someone into forced labor, most commonly for the purpose of sexual slavery or commercial sexual exploitation.
Nepal is a country slightly larger than Arkansas, with a population of 27 million compared to Arkansas’ 3 million. Nepal has 15 borders crossings that connect to India and China. The ability for traffickers to take young children across these borders for profit is often very easy. Through the dedicated staff and leadership of the Nepali Rescue Project team, there are now 15 border stations that intercept traffickers and victims! The victims are then rescued, often taken to a safe place, and given care where they learn a new trade or skill before returning to their villages. Currently the Nepali Rescue Project rescues more than 20,000 girls every year.
With the terror of the recent earthquake over the weekend, our contacts in Nepal were able to report all safe homes of the rescued girls are intact, but many of the villages are completely gone. Food and housing are desperately needed. Will you help? Send me to Nepal!
July 6-17th I have the honor of leading a team to Nepal to help the Nepali Rescue Project with medical screenings and village care. Your donation will provide supplies for the village and transportation costs for the team. Our goal is $3,000 per person sent. Please donate through Greenbrier Church‘s Quick Give and then select “Nepal” from the menu:

Bob and I will Pray for this visit in helping them and Pray that the monies will come in in Jesus’ Name! Also for protection, etc. whatever God lays on our hearts to pray.
Thanks for letting us know about this endeavor.
Thank you Bob and Rita! Your prayers would be a great help. May I put you on my prayer support list? You will get e-mails shortly before the trip and likely during.
