When Michelle and I were in Vancouver a few weeks ago, with met a very cool dude named Brian. Brian runs a foundation whose dream is to ‘bring life to the killing fields of Cambodia.’

He’s got about 80 on his staff. They’ve rescued tons of girls from the sex trade.  He told us one story that absolutely floored me.

They’ve been working with the (absolutely pathetic) Cambodian government to get permission to rescue 10 boys who have been prostituted. They know where these boys are, and the abuse, rape, and torture that they endure every single night.  But Brian isn’t allowed to rescue them until he has somewhere to put them.

I asked Brian, “okay, how much would it cost to make that happen?”

His reply: “We’ve already drawn up the designs and picked out the piece of land. To buy the land, build the safehouse and compound, plus fully staff it for a year…$10,000 Canadian.”

$10,000. To rescue 10 boys and change their lives FOREVER.

I told this story at the men’s retreat that I spoke at this weekend.  I had one really cool dude come up to me afterwards and say, “Jay, I’m not really happy with you right now! I drove up here on my motorcycle. I’ve put $10,000 into it in the last 12 months. I’ve gotta do something about this, for these boys.”

God, I pray that today each of would give up something so that others can live. Would be imitate your Son Jesus in laying down our very lives so that you can use us to continue your redemption work.
