World Next Door

The four weeks I spent in Cambodia were some of the most heart-warming of any trip I’ve taken.  They were also some of the most heart-breaking.  It seemed as if every person I met was more warm, kind and happy than the last.  But everywhere I looked I saw evidences of the terrible tragedy of sex trafficking happening right below the surface.

To say that I left Phnom Penh feeling a bit upside down would be an understatement.

And yet I was consistently filled with hope as I encountered pockets of the kingdom of God throughout the country; small communities of peace where girls are given life, dignity and love.

It will be a long time before true justice is available to the poorest of Cambodia’s women, but thanks to the organizations I spent time with, that day is closer than ever before…
