Answering a few support questions...

A few people have asked me recently how I am supported. I am very blessed to have a few loyal supporters who partner with me financially and share in what God is doing through me. I know I cannot do what God has called me to do alone and so I live a life of faith and dependency on Him and his ability to link people together. At the moment I receive about 380 Australian dollars a month regular support which covers my expenses as I lead a simple life in Herrnhut.  I have been reliant on God's miraculous provision to spend time on outreach doing the work he has called me to do. Financially I am aiming to get my support to around 1000 Australian Dollars a month. I believe this amount would give me the freedom and opportunity to fulfill my commitments for the year and continue to seek obediently after God's direction. If you want to partner with me please contact me on amylaurenfraser@gmail.com or feel free to donate via the PayPal button on the side of the page. Thanks for your support.

Human Trafficking Prayer Guide

Prayer is powerful, and a crucial aspect in the fight for justice. Here are some general prayer requests that are on my heart relating to the issue of human trafficking.

• Orphans are at particular risk of human trafficking. Many orphanages only look after children up to the age of 16. Pray that the children are educated about how to avoid being coerced into an employment situation that takes away their freedom. Pray that they get the chance to live the life that God intends for them. Prayer with particular reference to the Romanian orphanages of Beclean that thousands of children call home.
• Poverty forces many to make desperate choices that put them in dangerous situations. Many women from Eastern Europe and South-East Asia in particular, are offered jobs working as domestic help or in the entertainment industry. Many will be coerced into the sex industry because of accrued debt or drug addiction. Pray for rehabilitation centre Beginning of Life in Moldova as they use biblical principles and prayer to rehabilitate women rescued from commercial sexual exploitation.
• Pray that governments, particularly in the developed work, will wake up to the reality that legalising brothels does little to protect women and much to encouraging a culture of immorality.

These are some of the beautiful decorations (and food) at the Shine event I spoke at last night. Thanks so much to all of the amazing women who listened and engaged as I spoke about human trafficking in Eastern Europe.

Some dear friends and a special memory of the Herrnhut Christmas market. Anyone familiar with YWAM knows its an endless stream of hellos and goodbyes as people move into and out of your life as they follow God's calling all over the world. Honored to know people so committed to the Great Commission and willing to make such personal sacrifices for His glory.

Eastern European Street Art

A little bonus to living in a creative, dynamic community of missionary artists is having very talented friends.  My friend Stephen spent some time in Eastern Europe recently and did some street art that speaks out against the atrocity of human trafficking. This poster advertises abolitionist organization notforsalecampaign.org and says 'Human Trafficking. Just Business'.
