As a child I grew up with four sisters. Along with my mother, they helped raise me and shape the man I have become. Today, I am blessed with an amazing wife, two daughters-in-law, twin daughters, and a beautiful granddaughter (sitting on my lap). Over the span of my life, I have grown to appreciate just how incredible women are and how much they contribute to family, community and society. For these reasons, I have developed a deep appreciation for, and commitment to, all women. I want to support them and help create environments where they can thrive. That is why I am so motivated to play a role on this important journey. 

About the Journey

Serving alongside our partner, Our Daughters International (ODI), this global(x) men’s team will head to Nepal in Asia. Nepal is known for its breathtaking mountain views and picturesque hillside villages. Tragically, it’s also a source country for young women who are subjected to human trafficking.  

ODI is working to end human trafficking in Nepal by strengthening communities, transforming broken individuals, and enhancing and ensuring their human rights, justice, and self-dignity. The ODI team works to help rebuild the physically and spiritually broken lives of young women and girls and their communities through rescue and rehabilitation, counseling, capacity building, empowerment, and community reintegration.

Our team will: 

  • Serve local women by demonstrating the love of Christ and showing them that they deserve respect.

  • Meet with men in the community to discuss their role as it relates to family and women.

  • Visit the Nepal-India border stations to witness how the ODI staff surveils the border crossing and searches for and rescues trafficking victims.

  • Consider the opportunity to continue to connect with other “Defender” groups and advocate against human trafficking at home.
