As the smell of Thai food fills the air I am being reminded
of the simple things in life. Sharing a meal together, laughing, reading
together, and talking about the great things God has done this summer. I began
reading through the blogs from other teams around the world and have been
encouraged by how God moving in each place. Even in the states, God does
amazing things through simply spending time with Him and time encouraging each
other.  |

As we’ve worked with the Tolars this summer, I have had the
pleasure of watching a family do ministry; as well as just be a family. Daniel
and Lacy have 7 children, 2 of which are from Thailand, living here
temporarily. Rescue1 is being run out of
their home since its U.S. establishment in 2011. They earn their support by
faith that God will provide financially for their family each month. Since they
are faith-based, none of the money that is given for ministry is used for
personal needs. It all goes back into the ministry of Rescue1.
It is amazing to see how God provides for the Tolars and
watch how they live out their faith every day. Whether it is loving their
children, going out on the streets to do outreach, or giving a trafficking 101
presentation, it has been a blessing to witness and work with such an amazing family this summer. - Chelsea
