Child Trafficking: Cutting Off the Supply Line of Kids

Is this email not displaying correctly? View it in your browser. Child Trafficking: Cutting Off the Supply Line of Kids New child trafficking prevention program reaches kids before traffickers do.  Available as free download from https://born2fly.org.   (January 1, 2013—Orlando, FL)  Each year more than 1,000,000 children are trafficked for sex around the world. Some are just 4 years old. They’re raped for profit 20 to 30 times a night—night after night after night. Human trafficking is big business—the 2nd highest grossing illegal industry on the planet after illegal drugs. “Traffickers can sell a drug once, but they can sell a child over and over again,” says Diana Scimone, founder of The Born2Fly Project to stop child trafficking. Scimone, an independent journalist who has traveled to more than 40 countries, decided to do something about these horrendous statistics. She assembled a team of educators, writers, artists, and child experts who spent 5 years developing and testing a 6-session community awareness program called the B2F Project—which is now available for free download at https://born2fly.org: Born to Fly anti-trafficking curriculum: 70-page, 6-session teaching program with separate, age-appropriate tracks for young children and teenagers. Currently available in English, Spanish, Hindi, Russian, Mandarin, Thai, and Visayan (Philippines). Born to Fly wordless book: Companion book to curriculum. 80 pages with 500 illustrations by artist Leah Wiedemer. Available as pdf. Book is without words so that children anywhere in the world can read it. Soaring Higher curriculum: Additional lesson material for Christian schools. Currently available in English, Spanish, Hindi, Russian, Mandarin, Thai, and Visayan (Philippines). The B2F anti-trafficking curriculum and wordless book are available as free downloads at https://born2fly.org.   Schools, community centers, faith-based organizations, and others who work with kids can apply at https://born2fly.org/ to receive the B2F anti-trafficking materials. Once their application is approved (and B2F makes sure they’re not traffickers), they receive a password and user name to download whatever they need. “We don’t charge for these anti-trafficking materials,” Scimone explains. “We knew that most organizations working with kids around the world couldn’t afford to pay anyway. So we give them away freely—and rely on the generosity of donors so we can continue doing this.” Donations to B2F (tax deductible in the US) can be made online at https://born2fly.org/.     Cutting off the supply line of kids The B2F Project is already being used successfully in Russia, Thailand, the Philippines, Bulgaria, and elsewhere. More than 250 groups in 65+ countries have also downloaded the materials to use in their anti-trafficking programs including Vietnam, Costa Rica, Australia, South Africa, Nepal, Kenya, England, Mozambique, Botswana, the US, and elsewhere. Scimone says that most anti-trafficking organizations focus on rescues. "Rescues are absolutely critical, of course—but our goal is to cut off the supply line of kids so they never get trafficked in the first place.” Organizations that work with children around the world are encouraged to download the B2F anti-trafficking materials at https://born2fly.org/. Born to Fly International, Inc., educates at-risk children and their parents about the d angers of child trafficking through a strategic community campaign called The B2F Project. B2F creates awareness about child trafficking with the ultimate goal of ending it. Born to Fly International is a 501c3 non-profit organization and donations in the US are tax deductible. B2F founder and president Diana Scimone is a journalist who has traveled to more than 40 countries including Sudan, Zimbabwe, China, Russia, and India. In 2003 she founded Born2Fly to respond to some of the most critical needs she has seen among the world’s children. Today B2F is focused solely on stopping the worldwide pandemic of child sex trafficking. FaceBook Donate to MorningStar /CMM Missions Today!

MorningStarMissions: Man of Faith

Is this email not displaying correctly? View it in your browser. Not Brave, Just Obedient Not Crazy, Just a Man of Faith by Undercover Disciplemaker I meet people all the time, who, when they learn where I do missions work, tell me I am either brave or crazy.  I don't think I am either.  The Word says, "...go and make disciples of all nations..."  All nations must include those nations with a hostile spiritual environment and lack physical safety.  To go to a country or area because you see a need can be presumptuous.  But to go because the Lord personally tells you to is to go in obedience and faith.   I never planned on being a missionary.  But looking back I can see where the Lord had planted this in my heart and prepared me for years before I moved in this calling.  Several years ago I went to Asia Minor to visit a long-time friend who is a missionary.  While I was there my heart was awaken to a call to share the gospel and make disciples.  I then worked for the next two and a half years to find a way financially to join my friend in the ministry there.  Because I was willing, the Lord then sent me where He wanted me, which was Central Asia.  The Lord had to prepare my heart so I would go to this dangerous location.   When I arrived in Central Asia it was more than a shock in the natural; and it was very much a shock in the spiritual.  I have been through more than one evangelism training course.  All of them were taught from a western mind-set and from a western cultural perspective.  This does not work in a closed Muslim country.   Fortunately, I went as part of a team.  No one could get a visa to enter this country as a missionary but you could get one as part of an international humanitarian organization.  Many of our team had many years experience in this land.  And I was additionally blessed by working with two nationals who were believers.   I soon realized to be effective in presenting the gospel and to begin making disciples would require a long-term vision.  Six months in and out would not build a strong foundation.  I began to understand I must start by showing the love of Jesus and from there build relationships.  Being in a closed country where its against the law to share the gospel caused me to hone the ears of my heart to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit.  This was vital for me to accomplish my mission.  I had to grow in patience as I waited for the Holy Spirit to provide an opportunity to witness to anyone.  Eventually, I learned many things such as to only answer the question I was asked and not try to tell the entire Truth all in one opportunity.   In my second year there I was able to begin a dialog with a national unbeliever.  We were alone in a car and I was able to ask the national driver, who was carrying me out into the city, a question about Islam.  As we talked, he questioned me about Christianity.  As the weeks went by, he talked with me and with others on our team.  After some months he prayed for the Lord to come into his heart and be his Savior.  We baptized him in a bathtub.  The next year another team member was able to get him into an evangelistic training center in a country in Asia Minor.  While there he received the baptism in the Holy Spirit.  He has since returned to the country of his birth.   Last June the Lord directed me to return to the U.S.  I had mixed feeling about this. After a couple of months I realized how much I needed to be recharged.   In January, God gave me the opportunity to return to the country in Central Asia and see Him move in some powerful ways in only a couple of weeks.  I was able to meet privately with a group of 21 men with whom I had spent years building a relationship.  All 21 allowed me to privately pray for them individually to open their heart to Jesus!  During this trip I was also able to plant two New Testaments in the national language.  One of the men I gave a copy to is having a national friend print 100 copies of the NT to distribute!  This, of course, must be done in secret.       I looking forward to living out the Great Commission and II Timothy 2:2.  The Kingdom of God will come to this country!     FaceBook Donate to MorningStar /CMM Missions Today!

CORRECTED: MorningStar CM Missions Updates

Is this email not displaying correctly? View it in your browser. India’s Missionaries Committed To Win The Lost At Any Cost Condensed from updates written by PG and Aby Vargis edited by Cristi Winkler Every year, IET (India Evangelical Team) plants several hundred pioneer churches in distant villages and unreached tribes. In 2012 IET planted 611 new churches in the far north of India, where persecution is stronger than the south. Once a congregation is birthed in an unreached tribe, it soon becomes strategic to build a ‘house of God’ for the congregation. A separate ‘house of God’ becomes critical in establishing the pioneer work. Why is a separate structure, even though it may be a tin roofed shed, important? There are several contextual, legal, and strategic reasons. Let me share some: First, a church building creates a feeling of stability for the new believers. In most of Asia, particularly in South Asia, a sacred place of worship has proven to be an important element in establishing a new and respectful house of worship. We have repeatedly seen that the Christian faith establishes itself faster and spreads quicker when having a ‘house of God’ as part of the strategy. This is perhaps the most important element for me; I want to see the product of our energies and investments last till Christ returns. Second, a separate structure accelerates financial self-sufficiency in a village church. Recently we found that in those villages where we constructed a simple tin roofed prayer shed, the congregation achieved at least 25% financial self-sufficiency within few months.

This is a very powerful and foundational message for our time and for you as pastors and missionary leaders in many nations.

Exciting Frontline News From the Vineyards of the Lord January 2013 by Jorge Parrott, MorningStar/CM Missions Director Cuba: Native Evangelist Friend Allowed To Minister in Maximum Security Prison Our dear MS/CMM friend and MSU College of Theology Doctoral student, who is truly an apostolic leader in this nation, recently played baseball with the prisoners and then began to preach loudly in the center of the prison yard. A prison official started to shut it down, but the spirit of the Lord won out. As our friend, (whose name we cannot mention) shared the love of Jesus silence fell over the entire prison. Read more > African Royal Priesthood by Jorge Parrott Often our unenlightened world view can be shattered as a mere carnal misconception once the Lord opens our eyes to more of his heavenly reality. In 2 Cor. 5:17 (KJV) we read “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things become new”.  In seeking to know more of God’s heart for the nations through deepening relationships with remarkable apostolic leaders around the world God has always exceeded my expectations.  Read more >  follow on Twitter | friend on Facebook | forward to a friend  Copyright © 2013 MorningStar Missions, All rights reserved.
