One Dress

Good snowy afternoon to you all!


This is the first day of the "One Dress" campaign that me and a few friends are doing for a month. We are joining Amy Seiffert in this, who is actually wearing one dress every day for 6 months! Check her out! http://www.amyseiffert.com/

Fact: The U.S Government estimates that nearly 30,000,000 people worldwide are suffering from human trafficking. (http://thedaughterproject.org/#/welcome)


We wear the same dress every day to promote awareness of human trafficking and encourage people to donate to The Daughter Project. Here's a little blurb of what TDP is all about:


// OUR PURPOSE
To help girls recover from the trauma of human sex trafficking and to help prevent them from being trafficked through community education. The foundation of this help will be Godly, biblical and holistic.

// OUR CORE BELIEFS
God is the creator of everything. God is the redeemer of His creation through His son, Jesus Christ. God indwells believers to transform them into His agents of redemption on the earth through His Holy Spirit. The Bible is Jesus Christ in written form. We will strive to operate our organization in a way that reflects His life of perfection and grace, for His glory and for the redemption of the girls we serve in love.

// OUR PROGRAM
To provide holistic healing services in an extremely safe, home-like environment to girls who have been freed from human sex trafficking. The services will include; spiritual mentoring, abuse & addiction counseling, health & nutrition education, medical/dental/vision care, legal counsel, and family/friend restoration. This help will be provided by caring & competent professionals & volunteers. In addition, we will offer education, job and housing assistance.


Will you consider donating today?



We believe in freedom. Freedom and love above all things- through Christ who strengthens us.

"But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength , they will soar on wings like eagles, they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." -Isaiah 40:31







Here it is...for the next month!

  2. India is on hold for now-- God has somethin' else for me, I guess. We'll talk later. But I love you for offering your support.
