Our oldest daughter, Jo, spoke in church today for 45 minutes.  She was sharing her experiences form her short term mission trip to Cambodia and Thailand last Christmas.  There's simply too much to say about her talk to do it justice here, but you can find it on the Bridgton Alliance Church web site. <http://www.bridgtonalliancechurch.org/ >. 

she shared so passionately about her experience working side by side with NGOs as they reached out to the victims of  sex trafficking.  They also reached out with the message of repentance to the men who were soliciting these modern day slaves.  and slaves they are.  While I will not attempt to summarize all that was siad this morning, I strongly urge any readers to look into the following NGOs and support them in any way possible:

I do want to retell her opening statement, though.  She began by saying, "I want to respect your time lomits, but I am in love with Jesus, and He's passionate about these people, so if He goes long, it's not my fault."  Every church service should start with a similar disclaimer.
