Through the eyes of P.E.A.R.L. Essence Outreach, we learn to serve out of our experienced faith. We come face–to–face with trafficked survivors, who often define themselves as lost causes by default.

Sometimes she’ll say, “You posted too many things on Facebook about being outside!” But I’ll say, “Well, I'm not going to post pictures of all my meetings in the boardroom!” I've always tried to stress to others the holistic nature of our being, and to take care of our spirit, our soul, our body, and our mind. When I'm not right in any of those categories, I'm not right.
