Believe it or not, we are featured in Focus on the Family’s Citizen Magazine! Here’s a little sample of the article…
In March 2015, Terri Ingraham drifted off to sleep in her Austin, Texas, home. With a background in event planning and a creative, beauty-loving personality, she wasn’t prone to overthinking or dwelling on any given topic for long; instead, as she laughingly admits, she more often than not jumps from one idea to another without hesitation.
But this was no ordinary night, and as Ingraham soon discovered, she served no ordinary dream-giver.
We actually prayed for this to happen (that someone would want to share what we are doing) but had no idea it would be so incredibly significant. We prayed that God would promote us and that we would be able to reach people outside of Austin. Never in a million years would we have thought Focus on the Family would ever be interested in us but we are beyond grateful!
You can read the article online in their digital magazine here.
We are thrilled to be included in their Citizen magazine!!
Like Focus on the Family, we are a faith-based organization. You do not, however, have to be a Christian to be a fan of Focus on the Family nor to work with beLydia!
Sex Trafficking does not discriminate and neither do we!
Missing from that photo above is our beloved Director of Awareness, Stacy Brown (see below). We love her and are so grateful for everything she does for beLydia!
Would you take a leap of faith and support beLydia? Right now, 100% of donations will go directly towards our Programs (Youth, Home & Community).
You can sign up to become a Home Host where we give you all the tools you need to spread awareness and prevent child sex trafficking. We have three options for the Home Host, a “Low-Key” Kit where you are able to download the material.
The Party with a Purpose Kit is perfect for those of you that are having people over and you don’t have time to present the full “Home Gathering.” We give you material to pass out to your guests to educate them and they can contact us at their leisure.
Last but not least is our Deluxe Hospitality Kit. We give you all the tools including a “script” so you don’t need to know a single thing about trafficking! It’s really about you inviting people over and having a conversation, letting them know that this is going on.
Also, we are hosting our first Gala this November and need sponsors! If you feel led to be apart of this fight against sex trafficking, please contact us: hello@belydia.org.
In closing, I want to thank Focus on the Family again for being such a wonderful blessing to beLydia!
