BL Episode 18: Sex Trafficking

Brave Living

Today I am speaking with Lisa McGuinness, CEO of South East Asia Rescue Coalition and Haven (SEARCH) -- a non-profit formed to protect victims of sex trafficking in Myanmar. Lisa discusses how she became involved in this mission and how God prompted her to step out in faith, and contribute to this organization. She discusses how she initially was not at all interested in going on a mission trip to Thailand to visit a safe house. However, after hearing about the work the church was doing, she felt prompted by God to be a part of this experience. Her mission trip transformed her life and God clearly used this experience to speak to her. She has no doubt that God led her to volunteer and help give a grass-roots organization, stability and direction. Although Lisa's background in the publishing business gave her fundamental knowledge in building a business, she relies on God daily to accomplish the multiple tasks that are involved in growing this company.

I so admire her desire to help these women. Her story is a true step of trust and bravery. Lisa's heart and trust in God to help her and her colleagues grow SEARCH from the embryo-stage it is currently in, to the God-destined path it will become in the future, is inspiring. If you feel prompted to help SEARCH, either through prayer, or a financial contribution, please send her a note and let her know. Please send correspondence to: SEARCH, in care of Hillside Covenant Church, 2060 Magnolia Way, Walnut Creek, CA 94595.
