We are really excited to share this month about something we
get to be a part of this year. Cove Church does a major fundraiser every
December that focuses on a specific cause and commits to fundraising $250,000
devoted to organizations fighting for these causes.
This year, Cove selected Human Trafficking. We were honored
to speak at both campuses about Pattaya, Thailand as well as how people can get
involved and be a part of the solution by partnering with the Blessing Home
program. Feel free to do your own research on Walking Street in Pattaya.
Cove splits the donations by giving 45% to the A21
Campaign, 45% to the WellHouse, and 10% to Cove mission partners, including our
ministry.
It is really nice for us to be a part of a movement with
multiple organizations all working towards promoting a positive change. There
are many amazing organizations that are out there fighting against trafficking
in so many ways. I first heard about A21 about 5 years ago from Christine Caine
at a Passion conference in Atlanta. I didn’t know then that I would one day get
the chance to be a part of the Blessing Home and help to keep kids from being
trafficked in the sex and drug trades. I feel really blessed to be joining
Thailand Methodist Mission and moving to Pattaya.
All of these organizations work in different ways. The A21
focuses on “Reach, Rescue, and Restore” on an international level.
The WellHouse is a local Alabama organization that provides
a 24 hour call help line, rescue efforts, and restoration for women who have
been sexually exploited in Alabama.
And of course, the Blessing Home program of Thailand
Methodist Mission protects children by providing scholarships to keep children safe
and in school. Watch this video to learn more about the Blessing Home in
Pattaya where we will be living and working. If you would like to give and
provide money to scholarship children in Thailand, please click the "Donate Now" button
