India - Freedom Firm

Posted by on | |

Some of you may have already heard about my upcoming missions trip, but for those of you that haven't, I thought I would post my support letter for all to see :)



Here it is:


Freedom Firm Missions Trip



Ooty India, November 4th – 13th, 2010

  
Hello Dearest Friends & Family,

With much excitement, I write to tell of my forthcoming adventure!
I have been invited to join a small team of ladies from my church on a journey to Ooty India where we will be working with Freedom Firm, a non-profit organization that saves minor girls from sex trafficking and provides them with rehabilitation and aftercare.

As part of the rehabilitation process, Freedom Firm encourages the rescued girls to take part in a trade and artisan training program. In doing so, the girls learn skills such as jewelry and card making, sewing, basic business structuring and more. My team’s core responsibility while on the trip will be to work with the girls, equipping them with new trades to enhance their business capabilities. We will also be working with the staff of Freedom Firm to provide support and help where needed.

I cannot begin to express how honored I am to have the opportunity to serve the girls and the dedicated humanitarian workers. I have followed and supported Freedom Firm’s work for several years now, so to have the chance to help and serve firsthand is stunningly grand and something I am really looking forward to!

For those interested, you can be a part of sending my team to India. “How?” you might ask. Well, several ways, but mainly through prayer; we need your prayers to make this trip a success! Please pray protection and wisdom over my team, our travels, and our time with the girls. Additionally, please pray that God’s love and His heart will be revealed to the girls and that they will feel truly blessed and valued. And finally, please pray against any doubt, worry and spiritual attack that my team and I might encounter.
In addition to prayer, financial support is also needed; each team member must raise $1500 to cover the costs of transportation, lodging, food expenses, etc. If you feel led to support us financially, please make your check payable to “Grace Church,” writing “India Missions Trip - Rachel” in the memo line and return to myself or to my church. Please note that contributions are tax deductible.

If you are curious and would like to learn more about Freedom Firm, you can visit their website at http://freedom.firm.in. There you will find various articles to read, photos you can browse and so much more; it’s worth checking out!

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this letter, I really appreciate it!
May God’s face shine upon you and be gracious to you :)
Many Blessings,

Rachel Grace Armstrong
