Hi everyone :)
I have great news! Yesterday we found out where we will be heading for outreach in December. My DTS had a school meeting and in order to discover which outreach team/location we'd be going with they had us go on a scavenger hunt. It was night by this time, so we had to run around the campus in the dark and find clues which finally lead us to our future teammates and outreach location. My friend Abbie and I were on the same scavenger hunt team...and soon found out we were also on the Thailand team together!! The whole Thailand team consists of 8 beautiful women I'll be going with and our lovely leader, Jackie. We will be a team of 9 girls headed to Bangkok sometime around mid December! We met up with the rest of the team in our campus cafe and they treated us with thai tea, cheesecake, & raspberries with chocolate. mmm!
For this trip we will fly into Bangkok and spend time there. We will be also be starting near the North of Thailand and getting to know some of the families who have daughters, sisters, etc. involved with the sex slavery. We will then work our way down to work with girls who have just been rescued from the sex trafficking industry. Also, we will be on the streets and seeing the night life that occurs in Thailand. It will be a challenge, and it will be a lot to see, but God will give us all grace from what we see in order to go serve and love his people and to make him known.
Our Thailand team will be having small group every week starting next week in order to bond and prepare our hearts for what God wants us to do. There is not too much planned yet, but God will lead us where he wants us.
There will be more news to come!
I am so happy for you Catherine. God's word will shine through you!! xoxo
