We are thrilled about all of the different ways that God is moving through SOS to further His Kingdom. One of our great joys is to share the passion of our ministry. We achieve this goal of advocacy through speaking at different high schools, churches, youth groups, and conferences.

 

We are excited to partner with Together for Adoption and Michael Vinson from Child's HopeChesthttp://www.hopechest.org at the Regional Together for Adoption Conference! Below is a message from the conference directors.

 

Each year Together for Adoption offers several 1-day conferences in various regions of the county. Our hope is that you will leave these regional events with a deeper sense of God’s adopting love for you and a better understanding of how to love and care for orphaned and vulnerable children in tangible ways. Join us this spring for our regional conference in the Winston-Salem, NC area on April 28th, 2012 at Calvary Baptist Church - West Campus.  

 
This conference is not just for those who are considering adoption. Consider what our adoption is in Christ is and explore its implications for Christian living, orphan and foster care, and adoption. Any Christian will find the conference very helpful.
 
We are excited to report that we have over a dozen contributors to the outstanding breakout session lineup including organizational leaders, advocates, pastors and adoptive parents from across this region as well as other parts of the country! Carolines' Promise, ABBA Fund, Project Hopeful, Children's Hopechest, & Lifesong for Orphans, and SOS Save Our Sisters are just some of the organizations represented as exhibitors and/or in breakouts. We also have speakers such as Professor Jonathan Bolin (Piedmont International University), Chris Marlow (co-founder of Help End Local Poverty), Tamarian McIntyre (Senior Caseworker for Forsyth County DSS) and more. Special guest speaker for the conference is Burk Parsons, editor of Tabletalk magazine and associate minister at Saint Andrew’s in Sanford, Florida.

Today marks a very exciting day in the ministry of SOS!

We learned earlier today that the land for the Freedom Home has been
purchased! All government-approved documents and permits now grant ownership
of approximately 7 acres of land in Cahul, Moldova to our partner
organization "Choose Life". We are extremely thrilled and grateful for God's
provision over this property!

God has shown us time and time again of His faithfulness to answer prayers.
We thank Him for our gracious supporters that have partnered with us in this
journey of faith. Yet, He continually reminds us that we must remain on our
knees. Prayer over all things in our ministry is vital to seeking His will
over each decision. Please continue to serve our ministry as prayer warrior
on behalf of SOS, the trafficked girls, and traffickers. For more specific
requests, please visit our prayer page. Once again, we are so grateful for your love and support! Join us as we
praise Him today!

Yesterday SOS had the opportunity to participate in the North Carolina Baptist State Evangelism Conference. I think our team has decided that if we could spend all our days like yesterday, we wouldn't have a problem with it. Learning about the connections the North Carolina Baptist Convention has with the country of Moldova was exciting and listening to gifted speakers share about the need for a passionate approach to evangelism was inspiring! 

We were privileged to spend the day with Pastor and Teacher Doctor Alvin Reid and one of his student from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. He graciously told the story of SOS as part of his message about missional students. Students are called to MORE than what the world expects of us. 

Through Christ we are called to be ambassadors carrying His Gospel, priests who commune with God and children bearing His name. Jesus doesn't promise it will be easy, but He does promise it is WORTH IT. Christ is FAITHFUL and our call is to be OBEDIENT. 

We must start working together under the common banner of Jesus Christ. We are His Church, His Bride, and we are called to be unified. 

Can we join together in the fight for freedom? The cause of justice and the call for righteousness? 

Join us today! We need your help to be an advocate for the 27 million slaves today-- that's more slaves than ever before in history. It's happening NOW and YOU need to stand up and act! God has called us all in Christ. 

"The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to preach GOOD NEWS to the poor, to BIND UP the BROKENHEARTED, to PROCLAIM FREEDOM for the CAPTIVES and release from DARKNESS for the PRISONERS, to bestow on them a crown of BEAUTY instead of ASHES." Isaiah 61:1,3

On Sunday afternoon, our nation will gather to watch the most anticipated sport's event of the year. For most of us, this time is filled with dips, commercials, and fellowship- but for thousands of girls nationwide this weekend brings forth horror.

 

Shockingly, the Super Bowl is one of the largest sources of mass trafficking in our country. As a result of the large male population gathered at the game, the demand for girls heightens. At the Super Bowl in 2010, estimates of 10,000 women and children were trafficked the area for the sole purpose of sexual exploitation. As awareness of this travesty has grown, law enforcement has taken steps to crack down on this evil crime. However, perpetrators still use this event to strategically traffic children and women. This tragedy not only affects young girls, but also boys as well. We are not by any means saying that all men at the Super Bowl will participate in such activities.
 
Yet, we are aware that sexual slavery is reality; the fastest growing crime in our world today. Our country is not exempt from this statistic.

 

From a ministry standpoint, the Super Bowl is yet another reminder to PRAY on behalf of the captives. As believers in the body of Christ, such injustice should burden us and call our hearts to action.

 

May the words of O Church Arise stir your heart to prayer:

 

With shield of faith and belt of truth....
We’ll stand against the devil’s lies....
An army bold whose battle-cry is Love...
Reaching out to those in darkness...

There were over 42,000 18-25 year old students gathered together for the sole purpose of lifting the name of Jesus. 

Louie Giglio has a huge vision for this generation and through things like Passion, gives specific opportunities to grow in our personal faith and confidence on the Gospel. With a huge emphasis on the power of each of us coming together, Passion always has MAJOR goals for the offerings they take up. Just because they're 'poor' college kids, doesn't mean God can't use us all! 

The focus for this year, Passion 2012, was SLAVERY. The goal: to raise ONE MILLION dollars to support 6 anti-slavery organizations across the globe. This morning was the closing session of the conference and Louie shared the incredible totals of the past couple days. 

Money will be given to the A21 Campaign (www.thea21campaign.org) to support a prevention program that will educate 48,000 Ukrainian women and girls about how to avoid the sex industry. 

Tiny Hands International (www.tinyhandsinternational.org) will receive funding for 8 boarder control stops along the Nepal/India boarder to prevent trafficking, and 8 safe homes for rescued victims. 

The International Justice Mission (www.ijm.org) can now conduct 38 rescue operations across the nations that will relieve numerous who have been held captive. 

25 children will know and experience true restoration and freedom through the Hagar International (www.hagarinternational.org). 

Atlanta apartments will be renovated and turned into refuge for those trafficking in and out of the city of Atlanta. 

The mayor of Atlanta received $100,000 to go into the Atlanta police force with a keen awareness and sensitivity to human trafficking in their town.

The Not For Sale Campaign (www.notforsalecampaign.org) will be conducting a vocational training seminar in Chennae, India as a step in PREVENTING trafficking. Not Foe Sale will also open the doors of a new safe home in Cape Town, South Africa for rescued victims.

Night Light (www.nightlightinternational.com) will support the salary, training and care of 15 women in Bankok, Thailand.

The ministry As Our Own (www.asourown.org) will purchase and renovate a building in India that will function as a Innovation Home where education, and prevention of trafficking will happen as they watch the women of the city thrive and grow in right relationships.

Monies sent to the country of Uganda to intercede and prosecute witch doctors who are trafficking children, and the body parts of young children.

Bombay Teen Challenge (www.bombayteenchallenge.org) will open the doors to a new restorative safe home for rescued victims. 

Love 146 (love146.org) will rescue 18 children from the hand of slavery and will provide intense training to leaders who will then raise up 1,260 people against trafficking.

Word Made Flesh (www.wordmadeflesh.org) will welcome new survivors as they open doors of a new safe home in Delhi, India. 

A safe house will begin operation in the country of Haiti and will rescue and restore children from the streets. 

ALL THIS plus more-- Christ will break the bonds of slavery and bring beauty from the ashes of captivity! 

The total number of monies raised from Passion 2012 is $3,066,607! OVER THREE MILLION DOLLARS that will be used to break chains in the name of Christ Jesus our Lord who reigns supreme forever! PRAISE GOD! Thee college kids their part-- what will YOUR part be?

Merry Christmas! To celebrate the birth of our Savior, SOS scarves are back!


This year, we have chosen a more modern design for the scarves. They follow
the new look of the "infinity scarves." Each one reminds us that God's love
for us is endless, His mercies have no bounds. In addition, the "SOS"
stitched into each scarf reminds us that we must continue in our pursuit of
justice for each enslaved girl. Please contact us at 336-945-6968 or
info@savingoursisterstoday.com if you would like to purchase an SOS scarf.



As you enjoy all of the cookies and cheer of Christmastime, let this classic
carol turn your attention to the Fatherless. From O Holy Night:

Chains shall He break
For the slave is our brother
And in His Name
All oppression shall cease! 

This song holds much more meaning than a simple tune. 

It's a challenge to humble ourselves, fall on our knees.  It's a melody of
Scripture, He taught us to love one another. It's a confrontation of
compassion, for the slave is our brother. It's a call to worship, in
grateful chorus raise we. 

As the Jews awaited the birth of the Messiah, so these girls await their
rescue. As He was delivered in that stable, so shall these precious children
be delivered from their captors. 

"The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is upon me.... to bind up the broken
hearted and release from darkness for the prisoners..." Isaiah 61:1-3

This season is a time of anticipating and rejoicing in our Lord Jesus
Christ. Will you join us in bringing this joy and freedom to those who need
it the most? 

Let all within us praise His Holy Name!

Necklaces! ....From 16:40 Designs... A new line of necklaces we have made, spurred from a personal necklace we purchased from the Freedom Home in Moldova during our visit. The story behind it: 16:40 Designs...

While we were in Moldova we learned a lot about the issue of sex trafficking in that country and the source behind it all. In most of eastern Europe, as well as other countries, children are kicked out of the orphanages where they have grown up the year they turn 16. Thus, the "16" in 16:40 Designs. These children, majority being female, are given the equivalent of 40 American dollars and a bus ticket to their hometown. They are expected to survive. These children have had no love, little to no education, and very few life skills. With only $40 what are they to do? Thus, the "40" in 16:40. All of the "adult" children, at age 16, are kicked out. This happens every June. The traffickers know about this. June is often referred to as the time when "the monsters come out." They wait at bus stations all over Europe, ready to prey on helpless little girls who have no where to go. They make themselves look like the Heros, waiting for the girls to arrive, offering a job and a safe place to stay. But only after they have fallen prey do the girls realize the sickening nightmare that has begun. The heroes turn into monsters. So, through all of this knowledge, we have come up with a new necklace. A sign of Hope to these girls. The basic design is borrowed from a necklace we purchased from the girls at the Freedom Home in Moldova. A way for them to make a living, to support themselves. We have taken this design, multiplied it, and are now selling 16:40 necklaces as a fundraising item for SOS. Our goal is to one day build a physical home where girls can find refuge, a sanctuary if you will. A place of true safety and comfort spiritually found in the love of Christ. A place of preventative action, where girls like these can find Hope. A place of restoration, where wounded lives of trafficked victims can be healed. And also, a transition home, for those in need of real life skills, the ability to support themselves. We pray that you will share in this dream by purchasing a necklace for you or someone you love. A selection of necklaces will be posted to our Facebook page shortly. Check it out at www.Facebook.com/SaveOurSistersToday.com

"The young man who rings the bell at the brothel is unconsciously looking for God." 

How could this be?

Could this evil of injustice be of God?

The young man at the brothel, what is his search? A search for the deepest desires of the soul-- FILLED. 

How can the pimp be closer to truth than the moral? Because he seeks after the desire of his heart-- the God-given desire to experience and enjoy deep intimacy. Yet, he seeks in the wrong place.

The man searching for intimacy, for communion, for knowledge of another Person, he wanders. 

If the man has not found true intimacy in the marriage of Christ and His Bride, he seeks the answer, the stuffing of the heart's void, in anything he can find. The man is designed to crave intimacy, passionately. Yet, when found in the wrong place, outside the Kingdom of God, whether in drugs, alcohol, materialism, work, power or control [such as control of another's sexuality], the void remains empty, as if nothing had attempted to fill it. In addition, the individuals used trying to fill the void, end up with innocence stolen and hearts broken. 

Could the man at the brothel door be in search of GOD Himself? Unconsciously, as the man attempts to fill, to be filled, he fails. He searches for acceptance, for love. He feeds the need to experience something beyond this life, something glorious. Something like sex-- intimacy in its truest form.  

He seeks God, intimacy masked as sex. 

A man's desire. A desire for God. For the Intimate. The only One who can satisfy the void. 

The victims of human trafficking are the abused women and children, but could it be that the man is a victim also? A victim of false hope, failed fullness? A victim of void intimacy-- intimacy without love and sacrifice in not intimacy at all! In the search for fullness, the deep need for intimacy, the victim-man needs Christ, the Intimate One. 

Let us join in prayer for the captors of the innocent. Let us pray for the seeker, the searcher, the wanderer. A void filled with the One who fills. Intimacy Himself.

As many of you know, Morgan and I got the opportunity to go to Moldova. We visited a Home of Hope there and got to meet some of the girls who we have been praying for and loving for an entire year now! What a precious time that was! God allowed us to see them and hear about the issue of human trafficking in Moldova specifically. Our hearts have been burdened for this country. We have seen and heard of the evil there, BUT we have seen and heard of what God is doing and how He is moving and drawing this small country back to Himself. 

While we were there we heard a lot about the orphans and how that directly correlates with sex trafficking of Moldova. As you will hear in the video- at the age of 16, girls are given 400 lei, about $40 American dollars and a bus ticket to their home town... they are left to the streets and expected to make it. This happens every June, and the traffickers wait for vulnerable girls to kidnap. Stella's Voice is a ministry focused on providing a safe home for orphaned girls who are left out on the streets. They work to PREVENT these girls from being in a position where they could get involved in the sex trade. 

Watch the video, learn more, and pray for the country of Moldova.

As some of you have surely heard, anti-human trafficking organizations are pushing Hershey to raise the bar and commit to using Fair-trade cocoa beans in exchange for the millions they have received from child labor. This is really HUGE and could change the American view and child trafficking. Below is a link to more information on Hershey and the action steps at stake.

Thank you for your discouraging of child labor.

My excitement spread as they gradually crafted a nest and laid five, tiny blue bird eggs. Within a few weeks, each egg hatched and delivered a squeaking, baby bird. They greeted me with beaks open wide every time I glanced into the tiny blue bird abode. Eventually, I stopped peaking in on them since I couldn't risk the chance of them jumping out before it was time for them to fly. By the time June rolled around, each bird had safely "flown the coop."

 

 Recently,God used the lives of the blue birds to uniquely demonstrate His Word through SOS.

 

One of our SOS team members, Claire, will be moving to Arkansas in the fall. Her family has decided to bravely step out in faith by joining a wonderful Christian organization called "Family Life." We are so excited about her opportunity to use her life ministering to others, yet each of us are going to miss her so much.

 

At a recent meeting SOS, God used the story of the blue birds to help me understand more of His purpose behind Claire's move. He reminded me that even though it stinks to have a close friend move away, He has an incredible purpose for her transition. It seems as though Claire is the first one to "fly the coop", yet I am sure that God is going to be able to use her in so many ways in AK. The LORD showed me that like the bluebirds, we eventually have to spread our wings and fly- even when it's a little scary. He confirmed this through the Scripture found in Isaiah 40:31: 

 

"...but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint..."

 

Please join us in praying for Claire as she and her family make this transition. Pray for her to be continually strengthened as she prepares for AK. Pray for unity within our team. Pray that we may be able to work together efficiently over state lines. Pray for us to continually seek the LORD daily in our lives.

 

We're so grateful for your prayers and support. We thank God for you!

 

 

                                                                                 

                                                                                                                                                                                         

                                                              

 "My" baby bluebirds!                                                                                    We love you Clairesy!

We also got the opportunity to share with our community about our upcoming event at the Peacehaven Chick-fil-a from 5-8pm. 10% of all sales made during that time will go towards rescuing our sisters! Please come out and support our sisters that night! Below is the link to the news clip.

We appreciate your hand in helping us achieve our goal to further the Kingdom of Christ. The tea was perfect, and God's presence flooded the afternoon. Below is a video we put together from the tea. What a privilege it is to share life with new friends! Praise God for the way he weaves hearts together and uses combined efforts for His glory. Grateful to walk beside each of you in this fight for freedom, Love the SOS Team.

The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to preach the good news to the poor. HE has sen me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and realize from darkness for the prisoners, to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes. Isaiah 61:1,3
