WALK FOR ORPHANS
The MBLZ Women experience a lot of inward transformation during their year of MBLZ. Which is awesome! But the women also learn that being a disciple of Christ involves not just an inward change, but also making an outward change on our world. So, for the past couple of years the women of MBLZ have joined together for a mission outreach project to raise money for orphans who are at risk for human trafficking. Each October they commit to a one-day walk of 14.18 miles to raise awareness and support. Why 14.18 miles? It represents Jesus's words in John 14:18, "I will not leave you orphaned. I am coming to you."
And they have raised over $20,000 to date!
A small group of women making a HUGE difference, simply by taking the time and initiative to do something.
100 percent of the money raised is sent to Orphan Voice, an awesome organization in Southeast Asia whose efforts in anti-trafficking have changed and protected countless lives. They are based in Vietnam, where Christa and her family had the privilege to spend a few months with them, seeing firsthand the powerful work they are doing for orphans and God's Kingdom.
Orphan Voice not only oversees multiple orphanages and provides food, care, and love to hundreds of children, but they also work tirelessly to keep these at -risk children safe from human trafficking.
Vietnam is considered a "source country", where young women (and sometimes young men) are smuggled from Vietnam to other countries where they are forced into sexual or labor bondage. Orphan Voice is trying to put a stop to this through anti-trafficking seminars and programs. A "Victory House" program is designed specifically for the highest risk group (young women who age out of orphanages) where they mentor, teach and train these girls to be skilled in a vocational field or prepare them for a future in college.
And you can help them, too!
You can help them most through your prayers. Please, pray for these at-risk children. Pray for Orphan Voice as they are the hands and feet in Southeast Asia. Pray for all of our hearts to be softened to the vulnerable in this world. Pray for God to reveal to you any steps you can take to help others, just as this group of women did.
And as you are praying, pray if you can help support this cause financially. Your support will go directly to Orphan Voice where your donation WILL make a difference in the lives of orphans.
You can simply click HERE or the "DONATE NOW" link on the top of this page that will take you directly to a secure donation page that was set up specifically for the Walk for Orphans project.

Thank you for your prayers and support to help protect and care for these children!
Sincerely,
The MBLZ Women
