We were both sewing away one night and as I looked at her it hit me, somewhere in the world there is a little girl just like her sewing away not because she wants to be like her momma but because she has no choice. It really broke my heart and I went to talk to my husband about it and he had the exact same thought watching her sew. She is four years old and her life is full of fun times making memories but somewhere out there children are working for pennies to help support their family or are working for no wage because they are slaves. They are being robbed of their childhoods to increase someone else's wealth, to help support their family or to support their family when it is a child headed household.
I don't know if WCIC has changed my heart or if it was already there but I do know that I feel my heart being broken every day by the injustice of our world. As Christian's, we need to be doing all that we can to fight the injustices to women and children around the world. I am so grateful to all the individuals and organizations out there, right now, putting their own safety at risk to be he the voice for the oppressed. Please pray for my class mates as they continue to seek answers to when they should be traveling, who will be going on the mission, and how will we raise the needed funds for their mission. If you would like to contribute to their mission please contact me for further information. I also would like to encourage everyone to step out of their comfort zone and do some research on what is happening around the world and right in our communities to women and children.
