As we step into this season of giving, I’m reminded of a profound truth: in the hardest places, hope shines the brightest. 

For twenty years, Lift Up the Vulnerable (LUV) has walked alongside children and women in Sudan and South Sudan — regions scarred by conflict, poverty, and exploitation. Yet, even in these darkest corners, God preserves a faithful remnant and is raising up leaders who are becoming beacons of hope in their own communities.   

Your generosity is an investment that sparks new life. Each gift, every prayer, and all acts of generosity, becomes a flame of hope that pushes back despair.  

Together, we are equipping local leaders and empowering vulnerable children to grow into courageous young men and women who carry Christ’s light forward — transforming their families, villages, and nations from within.

This year, our goal is to raise $250,000 to strengthen and expand the quality of care across our anti-trafficking network — and now through Dec 31, your gift will be doubled up to $250,000 due to a generous matching grant.  

With your help, children will be rescued from exploitation and receive Christ-centered education, mentorship, and opportunities to serve — preparing them to be the heroes of their own stories and the hope-bearers of tomorrow.  

Every gift is a spark. It proclaims that despair does not have the final word. It affirms that the Light of Christ shines in even the hardest places, and that no darkness can overcome it. 

In the coming weeks, we’ll share powerful stories of God’s light breaking through darkness — and how you can help carry that light forward. 

Together, we can proclaim that despair will not have the final word.
