The sad truth...
We are a few days from heading back to Nepal. The team is excited for the opportunity to serve along the local leaders who do an amazing job! God is doing amazing things because of their faithfulness. This year, we will work in dark areas where girls are being taken and sold into sex trafficking is a major issue. Please continues to pray that God will reveal himself through dreams and visions to these dangerous men. We are praying for a supernatural trip where God is glorified!
The trafficking of girls from Nepal into India for forced prostitution is perhaps one of the busiest slave trafficking routes anywhere in the world, with estimated 5,000-10,000 Nepali women and girls trafficked to India each year. An estimated 100,000-200,000 Nepali trafficked persons are in India.Nepali girls are especially desirable as prostitutes in India because they are considered more attractive due to their lighter skin color, and because Nepali virgins are believed to be able to cure AIDS. He says brothel owners in India will pay 96,000 Nepalese rupees, or roughly $880, for a Nepalese woman, though rates vary depending on who you ask; sources quote figures ranging anywhere from $500 to $2,000. Local recruiters tend to get less than a third of the total.

Below is a short video which highlights the problem in Nepal. We know this is not an easy seven-minute video to watch. Yet, this is the reality for too many young ladies. As a father of two amazing young girls, this truly breaks my heart and praying for change.
Thank you for praying!
