While there are no words, a film crew is currently in Pattaya, Thailand gathering footage for a documentary of these children enslaved in the sex trade industry.
I was led to donate the use of this song specifically because of two customers of mine, both very well respected in the business world. These men have led me by example. Bernard just offically joined the board of Destiny Rescue, and Roger currently provides all of the office space for Destiny Rescue USA.
I am so glad God called me out of "full time ministry" to get into full time ministry. I know without a doubt He called me into "the family business" to grow it, His business and ours. What a great way to spend the day!
Hopefully some footage will soon be available... unitl then, here is a little info. on DR
Mission statement
Rescue the sexually exploited
We actively seek out and rescue children from sexually exploitive situations and then restore, protect and empower them.
Restore the abused
Those that have been rescued out of a brothel or sexually exploitive situation need very specialized and intensive care. They are given one on one medical, psychological, emotional and intellectual care to help them heal and overcome the abuses of their past. We also give them the tools they need to integrate back into society.
Protect the vulnerable
Children and women in developing nations are often very vulnerable and need protection from being sold into prostitution or from other physical/sexual abuses. We have "Safe Homes" for those deemed "at risk" for both short term and long term care.
Empower the poor
Our philosophy is to empower the poor to become self supporting, not to create a welfare system of continual handouts. We achieve this through education, vocational/business training, small business loans, job creation, self reliability projects, savings programs, day care centres etc.
Be a voice
The poor, the vulnerable and the abused often are powerless to have a voice that will be heard by those who have the power to help. Our aim is to be that voice, a voice that is loud and pierces deeply into the hearts of men and women, inspiring and motivating them to do all they can to positively impact the lives of the poor, the vulnerable, the sexually exploited and the abused.
lyrics
Psalm 71
1 In you, LORD, I have taken refuge;
let me never be put to shame.
2 In your righteousness, rescue me and deliver me;
turn your ear to me and save me.
3 Be my rock of refuge,
to which I can always go;
give the command to save me,
for you are my rock and my fortress.
4 Deliver me, my God, from the hand of the wicked,
from the grasp of those who are evil and cruel.
5 For you have been my hope, Sovereign LORD, my
confidence since my youth. 6 From birth I have relied
on you; you brought me forth from my mother’s womb. I will ever praise you.
7 I have become a sign to many; you are my strong
refuge.
8 My mouth is filled with your praise, declaring your
splendor all day long.
9 Do not cast me away when I am old; do not forsake me
when my strength is gone. 10 For my enemies speak
against me; those who wait to kill me conspire
together.
11 They say, “God has forsaken him; pursue him and
seize him, for no one will rescue him.”
12 Do not be far from me, my God; come quickly, God, to
help me.
13 May my accusers perish in shame; may those who
want to harm me be covered with scorn and disgrace.
14 As for me, I will always have hope; I will praise you
more and more.
15 My mouth will tell of your righteous deeds, of your
saving acts all day long— though I know not how to
relate them all.
16 I will come and proclaim your mighty acts, Sovereign
LORD; I will proclaim your righteous deeds, yours
alone.
17 Since my youth, God, you have taught me, and to this
day I declare your marvelous deeds.
18 Even when I am old and gray, do not forsake me, my
God, till I declare your power to the next generation,
your mighty acts to all who are to come.
19 Your righteousness, God, reaches to the heavens,
you who have done great things. Who is like you,
God?
20 Though you have made me see troubles, many and
bitter, you will restore my life again; from the depths
of the earth you will again bring me up.
21 You will increase my honor and comfort me once
more.
22 I will praise you with the harp for your faithfulness,
my God; I will sing praise to you with the lyre, Holy
One of Israel.
23 My lips will shout for joy when I sing praise to you—
I whom you have delivered.
24 My tongue will tell of your righteous acts all day long,
for those who wanted to harm me have been put to
shame and confusion.
