TJ and Sarah Laplante


Ministry Focus: Romania has been working hard to close their large, institutional orphanages over the last number of years, but despite the hard work, there are still almost 50,000 children in state care. TJ and Sarah believe that God’s plan for children without a family is still a family. Their central ministry will be focused on three areas surrounding the issue of abandoned children: 1) Prevention – working with families to prevent abandonment in the first place. 2) Advocating for children in need of a family 3) Providing support and training to families who take children into adoption or foster care.


Peter & Ishani Slocombe

OUR MINISTRY FOCUS: Sex trafficking of women and children within the Philippines remains a significant problem. In 2023, the government reported over 740 sex trafficked victims and over 500 of the victims being women and children.    

In response to this issue, I (Ishani) will work alongside the staff of Wipe Every Tear, a non-profit organization that assists young women who have escaped sex trafficking. I will lead a one-year program for the organization’s “safe home,” where I will mentor and teach these young women life skills and vocational training. I will also encourage them in their relationship with the Lord.   

I (Peter) will provide spiritual guidance to the organization’s staff and young women, as well as design comprehensive security protocols tailored to the specific needs of trafficked women. I will also implement these security measures for the “safe home” and the new facility that will accommodate up to 100 girls.
