Working tirelessly in one little corner of the world could be a bit frustrating.
Becky and I, along with our friend Woody, spoke to a group yesterday about the FREEDOM TOUR. We spent a lot of time talking about the kids at the HOME OF HOPE.
The folks in the audience asked a lot of great questions. As we talked, a concern emerged from the discussion. They wondered why the home didn’t continue to take in additional kids. Since there’s so much need, how can they stop at a certain number?
The answer, of course, is limited resources. A home has a certain number of beds and rooms and can accommodate only so many kids on a long-term basis. You can open other homes to work with other kids, but this one is for these kids.

The conversation got me thinking about how frustrating it must be to work in one little corner of the world. You’re doing your very best for one small group of kids, but every day you pass by thousands more who are trapped in horrible sexual bondage. You must want to scoop them up and carry them away to safety, but you can’t. You can’t because even touching them would endanger the kids for whom you care so deeply.
Can you imagine how difficult that would be?
We change the world by doing what we can, where we are, with what we have. For the staff at the HOME OF HOPE, that means faithfully serving one group of kids, year after year, until they’re adults.
One drop in the ocean. One small corner of the world.
