Men For Women

In my last post I challenged men to get involved with caring for the needs of women who are poor and depressed.  Indeed there are a number who are already doing a lot. 

Carl Ralston is the founder of Remember Nhu, named after a young girl named Nhu who was sold into a brothel at age 12.  Carl first learned of Nhu's story visiting Thailand in 2003, and decided not to stand on the sidelines.

"I made a commitment to God that I would use every talent and gift that God has given me to eliminate the use of children in the sex trade industry around the world." 

"Every talent and gift."  Give me a hundred men with that intense level of commitment, and the world will be changed.  

Remember Nhu

Thank you for the link to Remember Nhu. I read the first two pages. Then I went out for my evening prayer walk. And I prayed a new prayer. It is: "Give me the pluck to change the things I can change and to help those I can help and to never accept the evil that I cannot change." And I wept. I also thought of doing violence to the evildoers. I teach against using violence to change the world. But indignation still brings it into my mind.
God be with you my brother,
Roy
