Busy!!!!

What a great couple of days we have had in Lesotho, Africa! I spoke on Dirty Lies at a Victory Maseru Ladies Night where over 270 women gathered for worship, dancing, teaching and food! We partied African style! Around 23 ladies raised their hands to receive Christ or rededicate their lives to him including 2 from our shelter.

Then the following night, Beautiful Dream was invited by the Alliance Francaise of Maseru to participate in their celebration of International Human Rights Day. BDS was asked to show a film that we use in the local high schools to raise awareness in young Basotho people about the dangers of human trafficking and what to watch out for. Sonya introduced the movie, entitled “Dear Sister”, which was produced by YWAM’s Media Village in Capetown, South Africa. It’s an excellent short film about a young 19-year-old man and his 17-year-old sister who have been orphans since their mother died when he was 14. The story shows exactly how human trafficking happens in Southern Africa. If you watch this film, then you know what the Beautiful Dream Society is dealing with every day.

I am so proud of Sonya, Charles, Maya, Cristen, Monie, and Tanya, (our full time missionaries here in Lesotho) who have made connections with the government of Lesotho, other embassies and NGO’s to further the message to prevent human trafficking, and that there is hope for the victims.

We were glad to see US Ambassador Bond one more time as she reinforced to us in a brief conversation her desire and the desire of the US Department of State to work together with BDS to rescue victims in Lesotho and South Africa. In fact, we have a conference call with a Department of State representative in Washington, DC tomorrow afternoon. We are grateful to be a part of a nation so blessed that it reaches outside of our own borders to help other countries in their pursuit of justice and human rights.

God bless America and God bless King Letsie III and all of the people of Lesotho!!
