Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke?
Isaiah 58:6
Prayer breaks chains and gives favor that is supernatural. It enables rescue and puts people in the right place at the right time.
Reminder Summer Project: Send an Encouraging Card!
Greetings! I want to remind you of our project for Rescue Freedom. Send your cards at the end of this month, and we’ll give them to Rescue Freedom to encourage boys and girls in India and Thailand!
Get Involved – Send An Encouraging Card
You have an opportunity to send a card or letter to Aglow International Headquarters following the steps below:
- Pick a home.
The cards will go to India (where there are about 300 kids) or Thailand (where there are 14 kids). Each safe house houses children who have been rescued from brothels in that nation. Please note on the card or envelope who you are sending your card to:- Safe House 1: India, young girls (ages 5 – 12)
- Safe House 2: India, older girls (ages 13 – 18)
- Safe House 3: India, Program Graduates (Ages 18+)
- Safe House 4: India, boys (ages 5 – 18)
- Safe House 5: Thailand girls (ages 5 – 18)
- Safe House 6: Thailand boys (ages 5 – 18)
- Group 7: Encouragement note to house mom/house dad/leadership
- Write an encouraging card or letter. Write an encouraging card or letter. You and/or your group may send multiple cards/letters, as long as you specify which house each card/letter goes to. Cards from children and grandchildren are also allowed and encouraged. Here are some general guidelines.
You may:
- Write an encouraging note.
- Write a scripture.
- Tell them you’re praying for them.
- Include a picture of you or your Aglow group, so they can see who their new praying friend is, across the world!
- Decorate with stickers or stamps.
- Or you may simply write “I’m praying for you!” and sign your name/State/Country.
What to pray for/write in prayer?
- Let them know you’re praying for their education, which is a true hope and lifeline for them.
- Encourage them in their potential in Christ, ability to pursue their dreams, their destiny, vision for their life, and that God will raise them up as leaders.
- Encourage them in their future; that God has good things in store for them, community, love, and ability to pursue their dreams.
Please do not:
- DO NOT address their trauma. Prayers proclaiming freedom from bondage, etc. should be prayed, but not written in these cards or letters. Speak to their future, rather than their past.
- DO NOT address family. As many as 1/3 of these children are orphans, and to say you are praying for their family is not something that will apply to everyone.
- Send the card, or card(s) by August 30, 2016.
Send your cards and letters in, let's flood the children with greetings! Your cards/letters must be sent to Aglow International by August 30th. They will be given to the children, on site, by Rescue: Freedom in September.
