A team member in Europe writes: "I had been experiencing a long, quiet period of discouragement and fatigue, longing for revival, when the Lord suddenly turned my ministry upside down. He got my attention by making me aware of the trafficking of women, especially refugee women from Africa.

"I had heard a pastor sing about the plight of girls trafficked from Eastern Europe. It moved me, and upon returning home, I began partnering with a Catholic street work called 'The Nest'. After training, they invited me to go on the streets with them. I discovered young girls and women from an evangelical background who were selling their bodies. I returned home devastated, not understanding why they would do such a thing.

My wife and I prayed that the Lord would open a door for our own ministry and one day The Nest asked us to meet with an English-speaking woman. She had become convicted of her sin and given herself to the Lord right there on the street. She was without doubt born-again. God was laying a foundation to show that He and He only could get these women off the streets through their repentance and faith, and the transforming power of the gospel.

So my wife and I began to hold Bible studies and each week, more women attended. It was the starting point of a movement that has overwhelmed us. In that first year, we got to minister to more than 60 women and girls; many from Africa. I am amazed by their transparency, their honesty, their fear of God and their repentant hearts. The names they give themselves have special significance: Grace, Glory, Faith, Favor, Blessing, Joy and Peace. They see God as their protector and defender. And He has raised up nine churches to help them, both spiritually and with practical needs."

This outreach is just one of many being supported by The Freedom Climb, a hike up Mt. Kilimanjaro to raise funds and awareness for OM justice issues. You can learn more about this trafficking outreach on The Freedom Climb website.
