Thanks for listing these! i would really like to get you info on what it has looked like for me being involved here in Alaska with human sex trafficking. Maybe we could even set up a zoom or FaceTime call sometime? You encourage me!! Thankful for your heart.

I would love that! I actually published this because I gave a presentation on it this morning at my church and I wanted to have an easy way for people to access the resources I mentioned. Maybe a Wednesday or Friday evening (Eastern time haha) would work to talk sometime?
