Meeting Update

It all started when Jackie's friend's teenage daughter was a victim of sexual slavery. Feeling alone and depressed the young girl was approached in a mall by a young man who offered her a job cleaning offices at night. The girl felt like he was trustworthy and agreed to meet him with her friend at an office complex. They cleaned some offices and he gave them cash, telling them to come back the next night for more work. Her friend couldn't make it, so she found a way to the office complex on her own. She was kidnapped and drugged. They were prepping her for a transfer to Southeast Asia, where she would be sold into sexual slavery.

By the grace of God they caught her and her accomplices at the Las Vegas airport 3 days after she was taken.

From this horrible situation Jackie started C.A.S.S. (Christians Against Sexual Slavery).

I had a great meeting yesterday! I'm going to join the committee for C.A.S.S. once they resume meeting in the fall. I was able to get the names of some local people and organizations to contact.

Thanks for praying! As I was preparing for the meeting I thought, "Who am I? What am I doing? I'm a stay-at-home Mom, for Pete's sake! What in the world do I have to offer?" God quickly dispelled that crap and I was able to move forward. I'll keep you posted on all this!
