Hey, Friends!

So, I have a prayer request for you... and an invitation for those of you close to Gville/ATL!

Last summer, my friend Don Rock started the Freedom Project, a student-led initiative of two ATL-area youth groups to raise $40,000 to build a girls' home in Cambodia with the Hard Places Community. Some of you are familiar with that organization....We've worked with them on previous trips to Cambodia. It's founder, Alli, was the Director of the Real Life program when I first went on a trip with AIM and started leading/volunteering at AIM in 2006-2008. In 2008, she moved to Cambodia and started doing ministry in anti-trafficking. One of their ministries are girls' and boys' homes, where children/teens can come and be safe. They've built the boys home and now it's time to build the one for girls!

So far, the students have raised around $16,000, which is incredible! But we would love for them to raise the full amount, and to do so before some of them go to Cambodia in July to work with the Hard Places Community.

This Saturday, May 11, there are two BIG events!

The Crocodile Crawl: Whether you can run, walk, or crawl, come out and join us for a 5K at Fellowship Bible Church in Roswell, Ga! It's $25 to register and the deadline to register online is Thursday, May 9. To register, please click the banner above.

Nefarious: Merchant of Souls: Join us Saturday night at 6:30pm at Lanier Hills Church on Ducket Mill Road in Gainesville, GA for a showing of Nefarious: Merchant of Souls. Doors open at 5:30pm and Chick-fil-a/Papa's Pizza will be available to purchase for dinner. This is a great way to learn more about the reality of anti-traffficking in today's world- not only overseas but in our backyards as well (Atlanta is a major hub for trafficking).

I will be at both of these events and would love to see you! Please be praying for this event, spread the word to people in the area, and come if you can!
