MLK on Justice

love correcting everything 

that stands against love."

Doctors At War

Doctors at War provides medical treatment to combat the abuses suffered by human trafficking victims.

We are fighting human trafficking in many ways including connecting doctors and other healthcare professionals with those who are involved in the front lines of this fight, and giving them the opportunity to make a difference. We are working with safe houses worldwide involved in the rescue and restoration of survivors.

Their ultimate goal is in reintegrating these individuals back into society as emotionally whole and healed individuals, carrying the tools to become self sufficient and to not fall prey to this type of exploitation again. We will provide primary and specialty medical care to those who have been rescued from bondage, and offer technical, emotional and financial support for both those doing the restoration work and those who have been rescued out of unthinkable circumstances.

Their office is in the Nashville area.  Pretty cool organization.  I love that they are involving professionals in fighting this cause.  

Global Missions Health Conference

I am at a conference in Louisville, KY!  I'm in my first seminar right now.  I plan on going to some really stellar ones tomorrow and Saturday :)  Look out for some websites and seminar notes!


Wish you were here!

Suffering and sorrow are the problems for which Christ is the solution.  Go to bed in peace.  God is still awake.


-Victor Hugo

(I can't remember where I found this quote, and I can't find it anymore, but I wrote it down and I want to share it with you.)

So the other day in class we watched videos of people's testimonies about why they are social workers.  One woman shared that she wants to "speak out for the lost, least, and last of society."  This statement has been resonating in my heart since I heard it two days ago.  This is what I want to do with my life too!  I really want God to send me wherever He wants me to be.  I want to find the least of these and fill their needs.
I want to find the unheard and be their megaphone.
I want to find the uneducated and be their teacher.
I want to find the lost and be their compass.
I want to find the broken and be their cast.


My prayer is that I grow in my relationship with Christ so that I can hear His call and that I have the strength to follow it.


This, friends, is my journey....
