University seemed like an impossible dream, but he was determined to do whatever he could to get an education so he could provide for his family and escape the terrible poverty that he grew up in.

He wanted a better future and we know that God’s hand is on Lucas' life! We are honored to be a part of his journey and we can’t wait to see what God is going to do with his life. As Lana has said “He was rescued from his community to come back and bring inspiration. God’s going to use his life to show people there is hope.”

The giant is not backing down, �so we must conti The giant is not backing down, �so we must continue to fight! Life Impact works in the most vulnerable communities where families think that the only way to survive is by selling their child or having their child work. In the communities where child labor and child trafficking are normalized, we go in and show parents that there is a better way to live. We help families stay together by providing food and health necessities, we give their children an outlet to have fun and play, and we teach them about Jesus.

We are meeting families where they are at in their darkest times and providing them a way out! We are putting an end to the vicious cycle of human trafficking by �stopping child trafficking and exploitation at the root!

Our work begins with rescue. After rescuing a chil Our work begins with rescue. After rescuing a child, we take every step possible to bring complete healing and wholeness to every child.

Immediately upon rescue, every child is placed in our transition home on Life Impact’s land. There they receive physical, mental, and spiritual care until they are healthy enough to begin their new life with their forever family in a family-style safe home. Here, they receive the love and security needed for further healing.

Healing can be challenging at times because many of our children have gone through unspeakable traumas. But, we know that Jesus can heal them completely, and we have seen children come out healed from some of the darkest pasts. We are fighting to give these children a new future free from their past!

Child trafficking is still happening. Awareness i Child trafficking is still happening.

Awareness is where it starts, and knowing the facts is vital. The more people who understand and know the gravity of the problem, the more likely we will be able to change the statistic.

Knowing the problem is not enough - but when the reality of the problem sinks in, often people are moved to action! So we are hoping that you would join us in speaking out about the problem and fighting for their freedom!

Today we renewed our commitment with the Thai Government and other powerful organizations on our border to prevent, rescue, and heal at-risk and exploited children and women along our border!

Prevention is at the heart of everything we do, an Prevention is at the heart of everything we do, and that is where our work begins. We work in the most dangerous and vulnerable communities to do everything possible to prevent child trafficking and exploitation from happening. Our target is first and foremost to determine if there are any possible safe options to keep a child with their parent or family members and ultimately help the whole family.

This little girl is part of one of the families that we support each month in Thailand. She is able to stay with her family, be safe and provided for, as well as get an education. Sometimes our work is simply meeting families where they are at and giving them food, basic health necessities, helping parents find a job, and teaching them about Jesus.

Because of your support, girls like her can get an education, play, and have a childhood full of love and freedom. 

It is not too late to be a part, with your help we are able to support more girls like her. To be a part, click the link in our bio, then "Donate."

Our Prevention Team in Thailand was led by the Hol Our Prevention Team in Thailand was led by the Holy Spirit and were able to reach a new family in a very poor Burmese village on our border. One of our team members had it in their heart to visit this family and the encounter is one our team will not soon forget!!!

We were able to meet a new family who gladly welcomed us into their home. The mom had heard about Jesus from other pastors and missionaries, but they never explained the actual Gospel to her or what it meant to be a Christian. And ever since she heard about Jesus, she has wanted to pray to Him and learn more about Him, but she never knew how. But Jesus saw her and He brought our team to meet her and her beautiful family! Our team was able to share the Gospel and the love of Jesus with this family and they were left filled with joy, hope, and encouragement. This woman and her daughter, who is 15 years old, both accepted Jesus into their hearts and we know that their lives will never be the same!

Our Prevention team lets the Holy Spirit guide their steps, and today was no different!! We are so thankful for encounters like these!! Please be praying for this precious woman and her daughter!
