Your Christmas gift will light up the darkness for so many
Thank you, all you wonderful people who give, pray and fight the fight with us. You are our heroes, along with all of those working on the mission field with their lives at stake.
In December/January we have provided extra funds to our hospital in Kenya. And in the worst slums of India, we are helping impoverished widows and children survive and go to school. We are drilling new wells in Nepal, and giving an extra-large gift to our children’s village in Israel.
We already begin the first week of January with meetings in the Middle East. Every month we are rescuing young girls from being sold into the sex industry in Asia, and we have active church plants in countries like Syria right now.
That is why it is with so much gratitude that Karen and I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. You are in our hearts, and your Christmas gift, your support, and your prayers are the most thoughtful Christmas gift, because it is all about love and trust; the most precious things you can give.
Thank you.
In the love of Christ,
Pastor Tommy Lilja
We do what we are – together we are fighting human trafficking!
Today we have an amazing team working on the border between Nepal and India. They are monitoring the busses headed to India, visiting villages with information, and influencing the authorities. Whatever they can do to rescue as many as possible. This year, 2024, we have already helped 60 girls, and right now 20 of them are getting training as seamstresses.
One of the girls was Punam, 15 years old, very poor, she came in contact with an unknown man who was on his way to smuggle her across the border into India. We found her at the last moment, at the bus station on the border to India.
Another one was Puja, 15 years old. She was married off at the age of 13. Her husband promised her family that Puja would have a better life. But then she was taken to India, tortured, rape, and sold as a prostitute. After 2 years she managed to escape, which is extremely rare. Once she crossed the border back into Nepal, someone told her about our ministry, and now she is in our care.
The cost for saving one girl is about 50 USD/GBP per month.
