Priceless by Tom Davis coming out June 1

Tom Davis, CEO of Children's Hopechest is coming out with a new book June 1st. His first book was about orphans in Swaziland. This book is about sex trafficking of young girls in Russia and how a woman named Katya helps them. I've just read the prologue and the first chapter. It looks like another page turner.

In case you think that the issue of human trafficking and the sex trade is exaggerated, I talked to a friend the other day who worked with a couple of orphanages in Russia. She said that not only are girls just out of the orphanage involved, but sometimes girls as young as 11 or 12 are involved.

Tom also just returned from a trip to Russia and Moldova where he found that not only are claims not exaggerated, but that they may actually be underestimated.

Tom's new book is called Priceless. Learn more at www.Sheispriceless.com. The go to the Children's Hopechest web site and make a donation to help save girls in Russia and Moldova. Give them options. Give them hope.

Today was the day! Our plane tickets are officially paid for and we'll be leaving on June 3rd for Moscow, Vladimir, and Pokrov Russia.

We'll visit the Fund Nadezhda Ministry Center in Vladimir and the Orphanage in Pokrov.

We are getting down to the wire on planning. It's pretty exciting.

We still need donations. The more the merrier at this point.

Thanks, everyone for your prayers and donations.
