Beth: I found out about Camp Run Free because my daughter just loves horses; it’s her favorite animal. And here’s a free day camp that gives kids access to horses! She loved the camp and started quoting something she’d learned there: “Choices have consequences.” She’ll say that all year, and now her brother says it, too. Once I started working with the ladies at the ranch, I got a whole new perspective on those camps. These ladies have been so traumatized, and the work they need to do to get past that and be restored is very hard. I NEVER want my kids to end up on this side of things! My husband, who is a firefighter and goes into schools to teach kids not to play with matches, said it best: “It’s so much easier to teach kids and prevent a fire than it is to go in and put out a fire.” It’s the kids who are the most vulnerable, who don’t believe that they have any value, who can fall victim to the deception of traffickers. But the camps show kids their true value in the Lord, to help make sure they’ll never end up in my care. “Choices have consequences!” |
