A GRATEFUL HEART Hi all! Happy Summer! We are currently in the final stages of renovations at our new Safe Home and are so eager and expectant for what is to come! Be on the look out for our upcoming work days and room sponsorship opportunities. Thank you for already partnering in big ways to see this house open and provide love and safety to hundreds of women! We are also excited to share that we have been invited to lead a workgroup with the Georgia Statewide Human Trafficking Task Force through the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council, focused on addressing needs for adult victims and survivors here in Georgia. The Task Force works towards a unified strategy to combat exploitation, provide training and collaborative solutions. This task force allows us to be a part of a larger statewide mission while also allowing us to continue serving in Atlanta. Last month, many of us walked through the loss of a dear friend and survivor-leader, Debbie. While we are missing her deeply, knowing she is with Jesus and seeing the life-changing impact she had on her family and community has been beautiful. As we are navigating through this season of remarkable victory and tremendous sorrow, we are reminded, above all, to maintain a grateful heart. With hundreds reached through outreach teams, growing ministry to male survivors, 11,849 hotline calls and 1,367 rescues to date, we are continuing to see the Lord's powerful love change lives through staff, volunteers, and our community. Let's continue trusting in the Lord through every season and fiercely pursuing the goal that every life would be restored and free! We are so thankful for you! Mel |
