latest update:
        after the freedom climb
        where in the world is denise right now?


Well, given the difficulty of pinning Denise down to one spot, this update is not from the horses mouth! 

The last official update from Denise had her at the foot of Mt Kilimanjaro ready to participate in The Freedom Climb—a group of 48 women aiming for the summit to raise awareness, prayers, & finances for women & children being oppressed, enslaved, exploited & trafficked.  The Freedom Climb goal for 2012 is to affect the lives of 10,000 women through projects that break the cycles of poverty, shame, slavery, & despair.  These projects include micro-loans, education, skills training, & protection from exploitation. 

If you can, check out these links to The Freedom Climb—there are photo’s from the climb (quite a few of Denise!) & they even made it on the news!  The website also has plenty of details about how you can get involved, whether financially, prayerfully, or by joining another climb:

Denise is currently back in South Africa (Pretoria to be precise), but word has it she will be here ever so briefly in April.  Please continue to pray for Denise—for safe travels, for comfy beds to sleep in, for easy connections with the people she is working with & for her health to stay strong as she scoots about different time zones & climates.
