In this episode, Nate asks Grace Crosby, NewCity's jack of all trades Ministry Assistant, about her upcoming trip with Freedom424 to Thailand. Her group is heading there to connect with Beginnings Foundation, which works to rescue girls from human trafficking. Grace explains her heart for missions, and then the details and logistics for this particular trip and what they hope it is able to accomplish.

The Beginnings Foundation in Thailand leverages basic life skills education to provide alternatives to trafficking victims. They run cooking and sewing schools for the girls, equipping them with new skills and a renewed sense of hope. But the path to recovery isn't straightforward; these girls face daunting challenges such as potential threats within Thailand's public school system and a bleak environment trapping them in this vicious cycle.
