Alyssa and I are very excited to share that we will be working with International Justice Mission, deploying in September on a year long fellowship in Bangkok, Thailand. It's been our long time dream to go abroad and use our time and energy in pursuit of a worthwhile cause, and we are so excited to share the opportunity and mission with you through your support.

IJM is an excellent organization which tackles the very difficult problem of human trafficking by working with local governments to equip and train them to more effectively combat this issue. There are more slaves in the world today than there have ever been in history, and their goal is to end slavery in our lifetime. In pursuit of this goal, they have teams in many countries around the world, and also host yearly fellowships, where business professionals can bring in their skills learned in the workplace to use to support the local teams. In our fellowship role, we will be working with the local office in Bangkok, which is focused on eliminating labor trafficking in Thailand and the surrounding countries. Alyssa will be working with the regional communications team, which helps coordinate IJM's efforts in multiple countries in the surrounding areas, and helps gather community support through sharing about IJM's mission. I will be working with their legal and survivor services teams, helping administrate ongoing projects, and working to develop business relationships with local industries.

This position is unpaid, but the work is incredibly impactful. We started a fundraiser on Pure Charity to raise the funding that we need for the mission. Pure Charity is a 501(c)(3) registered non-profit which partners with organizations like IJM, to simplify the process for volunteers like us to raise support. They provide oversight of fund disbursement, donor receipts, and ensure compliance with IRS regulations. Donations made to Pure Charity through this fundraiser will be overseen and distributed to us by them, in our fellowship role with IJM.

Every donation is important and will enable us to be present and help others in need. We would love if you would prayerfully consider a donation to support us, and IJM's mission in Thailand. If you know others would be be interested in donating as well, we would appreciate your willingness to share this page with them.

Thank you so much for being a part of our lives, and partnering with us to accomplish something that is so important.
