VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT

Name: Kelli H.

Title: Intern with Remember Nhu

Originally From: Albany, OR

Where You're Serving: Thailand, in a home of 50 girls. 

Why did you choose to work with R-Nhu and how long have you been involved?
There is a long and short answer to this question! I officially chose to work with Remember Nhu a year ago after I heard about their specific ministry helping to prevent sex trafficking of children and felt my heart pulled to be a part of their work. This decision was a culmination of over 10 years of my heart being broken for trafficked children in Thailand after my first trip to Thailand in 2004 and three more subsequent trips. For over ten years I have been praying about being a part of the end of child sex slavery and God lead me to the ministry of Remember Nhu. 


What’s been your best experience working with R-Nhu? 
By far getting to know the girls and building relationships with them. Just last night, two of the girls, two interns, and I sat on the porch and laughed and talked for hours about a lot of random topics, but the connection and love we continued to build in those moments were powerful. It's amazing to get to know the hearts of these girls and watch them grow in their understanding and relationship with Jesus. They are world changers and I'm so blessed to be able to be a small part of their stories. 

What type of projects are you working on? What skills do you bring to R-Nhu? 
Besides just loving on the girls, one of my main roles is to help host short term teams that come to partner with Remember Nhu. I love this part of my work, because I get to take the love and understanding I have these kids, this ministry, and this country and pass it on to others. I am also a part of helping to develop a weekly English camp to give the kids more chances to improve their English. Finally, I hope to be able to share the story of Remember Nhu and these kids with as many people as possible, whether that is through writing or other avenues. I feel like Jesus has used a lot of my life experiences thus far to grow me into the person I am here at the Remember Nhu home. This includes my countless years of experience working with and studying children, the ability to communicate well in a variety of situations, and the ability to interact and build relationships with people from all different backgrounds. Most of all, I pray that my greatest skill is that I strive to be a humble servant of Jesus and allow His Spirit to direct me in all of my actions. 

Prayer requests? 
God would live and love in and through me across all barriers, including language and cultural, so that these children may know His love a little more.
The ability to comprehend and learn to speak the Thai language quickly so that I can build better relationships with the Thais around me.
Comfort and trust for situations back in the States that I am so far removed from and to know how I can best support those at home during my time in Thailand.

What’s one Bible verse that has been particularly motivating for you? 

"This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us."
