Even though she is dealing with such great turmoil around her, Jasmine is a leader in her family, setting an example for her three younger brothers and the other children. Jasmine has a deep desire to know Jesus more. She was delighted to receive her first-ever Bible from Life Impact, where she can read more about Jesus herself. She is just one of the many precious children who are in our Prevention Projects. Here is a picture that Jasmin painted during one of our art courses through the Prevention Project. ‣ #preventrescueheal #changealifechangetheworld #lifeimpactinternational
Did you know 1 out of 2 children in Thailand is at Did you know 1 out of 2 children in Thailand is at-risk of being trafficked? That is why 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! ‣ #preventrescueheal #changealifechangetheworld #lifeimpactinternational #letthemhearus #ENDchildtrafficking #ENDit

At Life Impact, our arms are open to reaching all At Life Impact, our arms are open to reaching all of the children with love and hope. What the Lord spoke to Lana many years ago, "You will reach more through these children than you will ever reach alone," is at the forefront of everything we do because we know that these children are going to be the ones that change the destiny for future generations! One of the ways we are reaching these children is through our Prevention Projects in Thailand, Myanmar, and Brazil, which aim to reach vulnerable and at-risk families and children! Our teams go out into multiple low-income communities every month to meet the needs of these children while holding events to help educate and equip families on breaking the cycle of exploitation within their communities. While there, our prevention teams provide food and essential health items, play games, and teach the children about Jesus' love for them! Children are a gift from God, and we will not stop until they are safe! ‣ #preventrescueheal #changealifechangetheworld #lifeimpactinternational #letthemhearus
🇧🇷 Today is Independence Day in Brazil, and 🇧🇷 Today is Independence Day in Brazil, and over the weekend, we celebrated it with our children in Rio. Our focus is much more than a nation being free, but it is to see every child walk in a place of freedom, hope, and light and end the normalization of child trafficking within Brazil. This weekend, we got closer to this dream as our team not only touched the lives of the children in one of the most dangerous cities in Brazil, but we were able to strengthen relationships with the families of our children and the community we work in! ‣ #preventrescueheal #changealifechangetheworld #lifeimpactinternational #brazil #mychildmybodymyfightmybrazil #7desetembro #independenciadobrasil
Our children have faced horrendous atrocities in t Our children have faced horrendous atrocities in their short lives, things that we can not even fathom. Once we rescue them, our sole focus is bringing them total healing! To see our children worship the Lord with all of their hearts brings us to tears because we know that the Great Healer has captured their hearts, and total healing is taking place. “But let the godly rejoice. Let them be glad in God’s presence. Let them be filled with joy. Sing praises to God and to his name! Sing loud praises to him who rides the clouds. His name is the Lord—rejoice in his presence! Father to the fatherless, defender of widows—this is God, whose dwelling is holy. God places the lonely in families; he sets the prisoners free and gives them joy.” - Psalm 68:3-6 ‣ #preventrescueheal #changealifechangetheworld #lifeimpactinternational #worship #praise

Nisha, our newest intern in Brazil, has been teach Nisha, our newest intern in Brazil, has been teaching our children to paint in our Prevention Projects. She recently had all of our children paint their homes and share their stories with us. We wanted to share one of their stories with you today. *Daniel is a 12-year-old boy, who lives with his parents and three siblings. His home is simple, it is made of clay and tree trunks, with no running water or electricity. Daniel came to us several months ago when his 1-year-old sister was suffering from a severe infection on her skin, but his parents couldn’t pay for the treatment. That is when Daniel came to us asking if we could help…and thankfully wee were able to help get his baby sister medicine and proper medical care! Daniel is loved and admired by our staff because even though he has so many challenges, he walks with great humility and shows incredible love and responsibility for his siblings. He is just one of many of the beautiful children who are in our Prevention Projects. At Life Impact, we always say, “change a life, change the world,” yet, so often these children are the ones changing our lives! ‣ #preventrescueheal #changealifechangetheworld #lifeimpactinternational
Our staff is FULLY vested in the lives of our prev Our staff is FULLY vested in the lives of our prevention and rescue children and go to great lengths to receive adequate training to help our children not just recover from trauma but be completely healed from deep hurts and wounds caused by the trauma! Every year, our Thailand staff goes through a "Child Protection Policy Workshop" where they participate in team-building activities, have powerful discussions, and gain insight on better ways to protect and care for our children. We are grateful for our staff and their dedication to our children and their healing, and we could not do what we do without them! ‣ #preventrescueheal #changealifechangetheworld #lifeimpactinternational
This year, despite the chaos of Covid-19 lockdowns This year, despite the chaos of Covid-19 lockdowns, war raging at the border, and flooding all around - our Thailand team has rescued seven precious children! They are all living at the transition home and are learning, growing, and healing. One of our newest rescues said, "I am happy to stay at Life Impact because they have a nice house, a good place to sleep, yummy food to eat, a beautiful playground, and I now have a lot of friends!" The Lord is taking their stories from ashes to beauty. We are so grateful these children have joined our Life Impact Family! "The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the LORD's favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion-- to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor." Isaiah 61:1-3 ‣ #preventrescueheal #changealifechangetheworld #lifeimpactinternational
Our Thailand rescue children have been in lockdown Our Thailand rescue children have been in lockdown for over a year. It is amazing to look back over the year and see all that has transpired in the hearts of our kids. When lockdowns began, our children were thrilled to spend all day on the Promise Land! But, as weeks turned into months, like anything, the excitement wore off. But God knew! He used the lockdown to bring further healing to our kids by creating an environment where there are no outside distractions. They are poured into 24/7 by their parents and Life Impact staff. Our kids have even said that they don't want to go back to public school but want to continue to be homeschooled on the Promised Land! They are THRIVING amid chaos and confusion all around! Deep healing and revival are taking place in their hearts! The youth are stepping up to help their parents and are becoming leaders right before our eyes! What the devil meant for harm, the Lord is turning for HIS glory. ‣ #preventrescueheal #changealifechangetheworld #lifeimpactinternational #lockdown #homeschool #revival
As we entered 2021, we shared some dreams with you As we entered 2021, we shared some dreams with you. One of those dreams in Thailand was to have self-sustaining agriculture projects on our Promise Land to reach more, help more, and rescue more. Little did we know at the beginning of the year that markets would be closed, prices of crops inflated, and flooding would keep us from leaving the Promised Land. But GOD KNEW!!! He knew EVERY detail. He knew that we would need to be able to feed all of our children and staff! This year, we have fed our children and staff with produce from our garden! The Lord prepared a way for us to flourish in the midst of crisis and uncertainty! ‣ #preventrescueheal #changealifechangetheworld #lifeimpactinternational #selfsustaining #agriculture

Please join us in prayer as we pray for the Karen Please join us in prayer as we pray for the Karen people. Today our attention is on the Karen moms and their infants. What should be a joyous and celebrated time for these new moms has become a time of worry, fear, and instability as they continue to flee for their lives while taking care of babies that relay on them for every need to be met. We are believing that this will be the last generation that has to face this persecution! Pray for peace in the midst of this storm and for complete protection over these innocent lives. "...Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm." Matthew 8:26B We believe that Jesus can calm the storm and bring healing, peace, and comfort to the Karen people. ‣ #preventrescueheal #changealifechangetheworld #lifeimpactinternational #letthemhearus #staycurrent #breakingnews #update #prayer #myanmar
