Cecilia's IJM Fellowship!

Donation protected
Dearest friends,
I am so excited to tell you that this coming autumn, I am going to be a Church Mobilization Fellow for International Justice Mission  in Dominican Republic!

IJM is a nonprofit fighting human trafficking and slavery around the world. The first time that I heard about IJM was back when I was a student at Ashland Theological Seminary. It was there that God started to shape my calling and fill me with passion for the brokenhearted, especially those who are bound by slavery.

While the Dominican Republic is a beautiful country, it has a dark side. Many people have come to this nation searching for better opportunities, but have instead found themselves in more vulnerable positions. Because of this, the country has been emerging as a hot spot for child sex tourism. Without the help of IJM, these targeted teens would have no hope.

As for me, this opportunity is a dream come true! Nevertheless, the position that I have been offered is in fact a volunteer one, which means that I will be responsible for all my costs associated with the assignment. With that said, through this website I am hoping to raise the funds needed to cover the Pre and Post deployment costs: airfares, IJM orientation week, lodging, transportation, meals, visa processing, immunizations, travel insurance for the whole experience, security deposit, home furnishings/set up, deposit for electricity to begin contract, etc. All donations/contributions here are Non-Tax Deductible.

If you feel called to join me in this calling, there are three ways to help:
1. Please join me in prayer as the Lord leads me into this next big step. I would love to keep you up to date with what is going on, for prayer support.
2. If you feel led to financially support me to get to Dominican Republic, simply click the “Donate” button on this page.
3. Or you can write me a check. You can email me, and I can provide information and where to mail the check.

Thank you so much for all of your continuing care. Your prayers and financial support are greatly appreciated! Without your help this won’t be possible, because I need to be funded by September 1st. I am excited for the adventure that awaits me in the Dominican Republic and I am so blessed that you are joining me along the way. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have further questions. So much love to you, I do hope you are at peace!
Cecilia.
