Daring Daughters: Help ENDIT!

Posted on by

February 25th, 2016.
— All over social media, you’ve probably noticed red-X images and photos of hands marked with permanent red Sharpies. Last night, our three teenagers came home from church with red-X’s marked on their hands. Friends on facebook and twitter have images of ENDIT and statistics of modern-day slavery all across their profiles.

So, as Daring Daughters, is this something we should participate in?

710-End-It-Human-Trafficking

Of course, we’re all totally against slavery and human trafficking, but as Christian mothers and leaders, we need to make sure we’re joining with something that’s okay to support. So, as a heads-up, here are some facts to get you in the loop.

  • The ENDIT movement is led by a Christian pastor, Louie Giglio.
  • The ENDIT movement was prominently featured at the mission conference, PASSION, with over 60,000 young Christians in the Georgia Dome.
  • Many prominent Christian leaders have shown their support for the ENDIT movement, including Beth Moore, Mark Dricoll, Chris Tomlin, and Kari Job.
  • The ENDIT Movement has been featured on The Christian Post, Charisma News, and also has a positive review on CNN.

As Daring Daughters, we need to DARE TO CRY for the needs of this world that grieve God’s heart. Human slavery, exploitation, and Human trafficking are issues that need our voice. In the famous Bible chapter about the virtuous women, Proverbs 31:8-9 tells us . . .

“Open your mouth for the speechless,
In the cause of all who are appointed to die.
Open your mouth, judge righteously,
And plead the cause of the poor and needy.”

As Daring Daughters, let’s raise our voice and our hands. Let’s also learn from this great example of using creativity and contemporary social media to help expose a horrible need of modern-day slavery and to raise awareness.

Ladies, let’s DARE TO CRY and to pray . . . for this need.

Bella’s Favorite Books — (Human Trafficking Awareness for Girls)

Posted on by

carlyn-bellaMy 12-year-old daughter Bella is a beautiful inspiration of faith-filled obedience, coupled with a sincere joy in the Lord. God has given her a heart for children, particularly orphans and abandoned children on the streets in India.

Listen to a Daring Daughter interview with
Carlyn and her daughter Bella < < <

Here are two mission books Bella recommends:
Both share missionary stories about rescuing children (Human trafficking awareness)

a-cry-from-the-streetsINTERNATIONAL ADVENTURES SERIES
A Cry From The Streets: Rescuing Brazil’s Forgotten Children
By Jeannette Lukasse

In the dark world of the Brazilian streets, children, toddlers and teenagers search trash cans for food, steal knives to protect themselves at night, and live in fear of being beaten or even killed by the police. For these desperately needy children, nothing was free – until they encountered the love of Jesus through the compassion of Jeannette and Johan Lukasse.

When this young Dutch couple asked God if He could use them to do something about the immense suffering they saw in the world, He led them on a winding path from their home in the Netherlands to the coast of Greece and eventually to the streets of Belo Horizonte, Brazil. Their calling was clear: millions of orphaned and abandoned children were living and dying on the streets, caught in the deadly grip of drugs, violence, prostitution, and abuse.

What followed the Lukasses’ step of faith is a stunning example of how God miraculously uses the surrendered lives of believers to transform the lives of others with His hope and healing.

Amy Carmichael: Rescuer of Precious Gems
By Janet and Geoff Benge

Amy Carmichael stood on the deck of the steamer, waving good-bye once again to her old friend Robert Wilson. How could she have known she would never see him or the British Isles again? Amy was certain God had called her to India. Indeed! India would be her home for the rest of her life.

Amy Carmichael’s life was one of simple, determined obedience to God, regardless of the consequences. Her service in India is a vivid example of the impact one person who will fear God and nothing else can have. Driven by love, sustained by faith and determination, this young woman from Northern Ireland defied the cruel barriers of India’s caste system (1867-1951).

This best-selling, missionary biography series – Christian Heroes: Then & Now – chronicles the exciting, challenging, and deeply touching true stories of ordinary men and women whose trust in God accomplished extraordinary exploits for His kingdom and glory.

Pages: 208 (paperback)
Ages: 10+

As moms, is it sometimes hard to “release” your children to the Lord’s purposes?
