This has inspired her life and compassionate acceptance for people, and motivated her passion to equip and empower people in their life. Karolyn has lived and worked internationally and has over 30 years experience of helping people. She currently works as a professional counsellor and serves her local community as a NightWatch Chaplain. Karolyn is constantly inspired by people's capacity and feels greatly privileged to walk alongside them through their challenges and journey to recovery.
Rosie grew up in the Philippines and found her faith in Jesus when working in Singapore. From a young age Rosie had a deep commitment to help her family and others around her to achieve their goals in life.
Karolyn and Rosie met in Singapore through a womens group they attended. Their friendship grew when Karolyn asked Rosie to help her by being an interpreter and support for a woman that needed help. This was a role Rosie continued to fill as as they formed a counselling ministry in local nightclubs to encourage trafficked women to know Jesus love for them as they were and in their circumstances.
Many of these women told stories of their faith and how shamed they were to be doing this work. These stories and the inner strength of these women inspired Karolyn and Rosie to action. They made it their mission to encourage every person who spoke with them to know that they could have dignity and integrity in God's love and acceptance. They also wanted to encourage young people to have a clearer understanding and strength of faith so that they would be less susceptible to agents who would want to take advantage of their enthusiasm to work and provide for their family.
This book came out of their journey through the Philippines, where many of the women they ministered with came from. They talked with local families and community leaders to better understand sociological and spiritual influences and how these impacted families and individuals. They concluded that God is able to help anyone in their circumstance when they are able to seek him. So sharing the truth of God's great love and human capacity to have relationship in Jesus is where they begin to help people now and empower the future generations.visualizza meno
