Naomi Duff and TEAM missionary Anne Hoyt are reaching out to women in Chad’s sex industry and helping them realize their true worth as daughters of God. Today, Naomi shares some insight into what they do and how the Vulnerable Women Initiative in Chad is helping these women find hope, healing and purpose through Christ. It’s the third day that Rita is in labor. I rush her from the hospital to a specialized mother and child unit. N’Djamena traffic is at its worst at 7:30 a.m., so we crawl along, but every bump in the road produces a gasp of pain from…

Among the work accomplished, a definition was constructed: “Environmental missionaries are those sent cross-culturally to labor with Christ — the Creator, Sustainer and Redeemer of all creation — in caring for the environment and making disciples among all peoples.” Though the event felt inaugural, it’s common knowledge missionaries have been serving through reforestation, sustainable…
