We were hosting a women’s conference when we discovered the need for a second orphanage in Thailand specifically for little girls rescued out of sex trafficking. This project already had our heart, but when we found out that it would be attached to the same church congregation that ran our first orphanage we had to say yes. It is estimated that there are more than 75,000 children prostituted into sex trafficking in Thailand. Little girls as young as 4 and 5 are sold as slaves into the sex trade. We have to be a part of the solution. The Darongpon orphanage provides a safe environment for these little girls whose lives will be forever changed. "When we took the children who are abused, hurt, abandoned, and unwanted into our safe house or orphanage, they come in without hope, not knowing Christ. Now, all of our 17 children living in our orphanage are saved and baptized and growing in church life." The Darongpon Orphanage, Thailand
