Well. It is quite apparent that I am not diligent when it comes to writing (not that this was a secret), I started this blog a year ago and just finished my first post... from a year ago.
Anyway, I will be using this blog to detail my thoughts and experiences over the course of the summer, especially for my time in Latvia. I will be flying to Riga, Latvia on June 23rd, for an internship at a ministry that aims to help girls who have been trafficked for the purpose of sexual exploitation. This is a brand new ministry that, according to the resident missionary Lysette, we may be instrumental in shaping. Thus far, the ministry has focused on providing for the girls in a material way, such as feeding them and providing blankets to keep warm. We as a group will be serving in this way but we will have many other roles. We will be visiting orphan camps, and also reaching out to sex tourists (Americans and Europeans who have come specifically to pay for sex). Some of what will do will be exciting and come of what we will do will be mundane but I am going this summer as a student of justice and of ministry. I will update this blog as much as I can throughout the summer and my internship.
