We urgently need your help to get these children sponsored. For only $40 a month they will recieve shelter, food, water, clothing, education and more. Please consider sponsoring a child today. If you are unable to commit to $40 a month for one year, then please help us find someone who can.

What if this were YOU?
ICA is rescuing girls like this out of brothels and red light districts around the world. Below, ICA President Pat Bradley stands with Jacqualine--a girl he just rescued from a brothel in Haiti. Behind them is the shack she was forced to sell her body in.

]]>We went back to the red light district yesterday and gave out the gift packs to about 200 girls. They told us it was the first time anyone did something nice with no strings attached. It went very good.
Today we returned with a group from Trinity Fellowship from Amarillo Texas. While walking around I felt God point 2 different girls out to rescue.
We are going to set them up with a roadside kiosk selling a variety of different products. We explained that if they are successful it will make it possible for us to rescue others from this horrible situation. I also explained to them that God picked them out specifically to be the first ones that He is rescuing. We explained that His heart breaks for them and all the other girls and He wants them to be set free to live His plan for their lives.
So all that to say we now have a Safe Campaign in Haiti. I had no plans to do this but God saw differently.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this possible.
I love you
Pat
