Calling All WARriors

Prayer Needed for Overseas Travel

world-heart Dear WARriors, During the cold month of January, WAR, Int’l president, Becky McDonald, will be traveling across oceans, greeted warmly by our partners, programs, and friends. On January 7th, she will take off for Amsterdam where Becky will meet Lena, a long-time friend of WAR, Int’l who was rescued from forced prostitution. Today, Lena is free and happily married, now anticipating the arrival of Becky, her “stand-in mom.” Soon after, Becky, Phil McDonald, and WAR Staff will travel to the Philippines, Thailand, India, and Ireland, meeting with potential partners and expanding our reach into new places of rescue. Please join us as we cover their travels in prayer and thanksgiving!
