Thank you for partnering with Cross Cultural Connections, by choosing to become a Young Living Member using the CCC number!
As you know, you get the incredible more-than-organic oils, household products, infant, body, and pet care, make-up and more for YOUR family - and - because Young Living Gives Back - Cross Cultural Connections can then help widows and orphans who are refugees and fleeing human trafficking.
As one team leader said, "Refugees already have their own solution. They just need help getting to it."
Listening to the refugees, finding their gifts, helping them hope again, seeing their eyes light up with the potential of rebuilding their lives ... this is what the teams do. And this is how a town or city is rebuilt from the ashes. No two people are the same; each one has a unique gift and call; a special purpose and design. These people see ways to take very little and turn it into something. It can be as simple as wax to make candles; clay to make bowls; ashes to make soap. Just like you, they are intuitive, ingenious, creative and want to respond to life with Hope, if given a chance.
Because they move from having lost all to gaining back, sometimes they are closer to genuine thanksgiving that I am. Not having a bomb fall in the night; not having to worry if there are rice and beans; knowing that the well has been cleaned out and is working ... these become points of praise.
And praise is rising. People are making choices. When they compare the sources of the various powers that have touched their lives, they are making choices. One source brings death and war; the other Life Eternal. The choices are pretty obvious.
And we're so thankful for teams that are there; listening, honoring the personal choices and dreams of individuals who want to rebuild their lives!
Thank you for your part! By becoming a Young Living Member on behalf of Cross Cultural Connections, you are part of the change!
Over the last decade increased awareness of Human Trafficking has almost become so prevalent as to become common. Those rescuing victims note that Media Fatigue has drowned out donors. I mean, with war in so many regions, and tensions in nations that used to be at peace, plus economies that wobble, who really has time for what could be fake news?
The Reality, however, is that roughly 800,000 American girls are ALSO victims.
The Truth is one in seven American children reported missing was likely a victim of sex trafficking and of those, 88 percent were in the care of child welfare when they went missing. Those in foster care are at particular risk of being trafficked when they “age out” of the system.
Facts prove that, while this is horrible, and happening in America, there ARE people in America doing something to stop this. And there are laws here, and former victims starting not-for-profit orgs, and training in the FBI is improving. Thank God.
HOWEVER ... there are places in this world where NO one is ALLOWED to openly rescue women, because the same people who pay powers that be under the table are the ones who Traffick women and children. Where children are trafficked for body parts, where women are sold for $10, used, and thrown out. Where there is no minimal "marriageable" age. Where polygamy is encouraged and flaunted. Where war is fomented because fresh prostitutes are needed.
THIS is where Cross Cultural Connections said NO MORE.
And this is what we are getting behind. Not just with our talk, and our shock, but our pocket books.
NO ONE likes to hear bad news without hearing a solution that they can partake in. No one.
