Sawasdee from Thailand…Tonight was the crowning glory of an exhausting trip (especially the past few nights of going into the brothels). God never ceases to amaze me at how (at least with me), He always saves the best for last. When I walked into the 2nd brothel last night, I have to admit I was [...]
A part of me died last night. Another part came to new life. As I rode the 90 minutes by motorbike (as it’s called here) to a city I’ll leave unnamed I had a myriad of emotions. As I rode with our team of four I knew for me, I was on a journey of [...]
While I write this, most of my friends in America are asleep. In a little more than an hour (at about 4:00am Wednesday in Colorado) I’ll be leaving on my rented MotorBike for the town where the brothels are that the rescue team will be bringing me to. Someone said to me today to “have fun [...]
Quick Update from Thailand: I’m a bit exhausted from a long, emotional day. With my team leaving early tomorrow, I’ll be on my own with our partners here.

Many friends said; “Jeff, why don’t you quit what you’re trying to do with JOY International and go into…” ~ There were a myriad of suggestions from Business Ventures to Sales and various [...]
I’m here in Phnom Penh with my awesome (make that incredibly awesome) team of Harold, Chantell and Mary Jane. It’s about 6:00am on Saturday. Yesterday was such a wonderful day. Drove to Kampong Cham where we met Joel & Chloe (THEmost incredible couple doing phenomenal work – especially in the area of Restoration) for girls who have [...]
Greetings and welcome. I have been trying and thinking about doing a BLOG for a long time now. There is no JOY in talking about the child sex trade on a regular basis. The joy comes when you see success in the rescue, restoration and reintegration process with the girls. Girls who have gone through horrific experiences at [...]
Here’s a story I have to share… Being in Thailand, the past...
Greetings from Thailand. Our team left Cambodia today and we are now...
Have You Ever Washed Someone’s Feet?
I’m not talking about your own, or a baby or a child....
