Join me as I share about our recent mission trip to Pakistan, where my husband and I had the life-changing opportunity to help families break free from the grip of modern-day slavery in the brick kilns. Yes, slavery still exists—and it’s heartbreaking. In this episode, I share the highs and lows, the resilience of those who endure unthinkable hardships, and the joy of watching them embrace freedom.

This story isn’t just for those interested in missions; it’s for anyone who’s ever felt trapped or hopeless. You'll find stories of unwavering hope, kindness, and deep faith. And the best part? You'll see how small acts of compassion can lead to profound change. I hope it inspires you to look at gratitude differently, to act, and maybe even join me one day on a trip like this.

Are you ready to be uplifted, moved, and reminded of the beauty of human connection? Grab a tissue and tune in—you won’t regret it!
