Today our team got to go to the Rapha House. The Rapha House is a home for girls who have been rescued from sex trafficing. There are 60 girls who are currently living there in the home. They are currently in the process of building a new dorm that will be able to house 30 more girls. Most of the girls at the home are teenagers, but the youngest girl was 4 years old. When we arrived the girls welcomed us with with warm smiles and huge hugs!! It was so refreshing to see how happy and full of joy these girls were despite the horrible situations they come from. When we first got there we gathered all of the girls and prayed over them. The girls then showed us these beautiful hand made purses, blankets, Bible covers, men's shirts, stuffed animals, and pillow covers that they had made. The girls are taught how to sew and they were so excited to share there beautiful creations with us. The girls also are taught English, so it was really cool to be able to talk to them. These girls also really love to dance. They performed several different dances thoughout the festivals. Once we arrived at the festival tonight the girls found us right away and hung out with us. They just loved being around us and we also loved being around them. It was just truly wonderful to see the love of Christ on these girls faces and how happy they were. It is just so awesome that despite horrible situations God is able to transform our lives and make us completely whole again.Chelsey Jones
