I will be raising support to go to Thailand to get several projects with Stop Slavery off the ground, so that in the future, it can fund others going to Thailand and taking the fight to human trafficking.The main expenses are airfare, lodging and food. But fortunately lodging and food are much cheaper in Thailand compared to America, and I am estimating around $450 total monthly expenses once I arrive there.
I have been incredibly blessed by many people who have already supported my trip. I want to say a big thank you to all of you! It is very encouraging to know that so many are supporting what I'm doing.
Three Ways you can Help in the Fight to End Human Trafficking:
You might be able to do all three of these, or perhaps just one or two, but any support is greatly appreciated!1. Prayer:
- That God would bring justice and hope for the millions captured in modern slavery.
- That Stop Slavery would continue to make progress in the fight, a fight that is especially challenging in a spiritually dark country like Thailand.
- For encouragement, strength, protection and effectiveness for the organizations and people already working in Thailand. These include police, investigators, volunteers, missionaries and others.
- And finally I would appreciate prayer for me, that God would direct the things I do, and be glorified through the work I do.
2. If you are interested in supporting myself, or Stop Slavery here's how: - I am raising support to help with living and travel expenses while in Thailand. If you are interested in partnering with me financially, simply follow this link, and select 'Peter Vanosdall Support', and follow the instructions. (if you are on the StopSlavery.org website, you can go to Donate at the top right of the screen, and it will take you to the same link as above). To donate directly to Stop Slavery and the work they do in anti-human trafficking, choose from one of the other drop down options.It is possible to make both a one time support gift, or a recurring gift online. And donations made at StopSlavery.org are tax deductible. If you are interested in giving in other ways besides online, use the contact form on the Contact Me page and enter your questions there.
3. Spread the Word - In Marketing, word of mouth advertising is one of the hardest to create, but one of the most effective ways to spread information. I need people who are willing to talk about human trafficking, and spread information about it. Whether that means posting a link on Facebook, leaving a comment somewhere, or talking with friends about it, this is the most important aspect.
Joining me in ending modern slavery in any way you can is hugely beneficial, and greatly encouraging. And I want to thank you now for any and all support.
How I will be Using Support:
I wanted to share how support will be used: As mentioned above, I must raise the money for airfare to get to Thailand, for a visa, for accommodations while in Thailand, and any other expenses that occur including medical, transportation and other details over the eight months.The financial support I raise will directly fund my ability to fight human trafficking through working with the Stop Slavery organization. It will allow me to be in Thailand and work with a group of skilled individuals who will be planning, developing and enacting new ways to fight human trafficking, increase awareness, and aim towards ending modern slavery.
I am also funding a large part of this trip, through money I have saved. and I am excited to be able to work for justice, and I hope you will join me.

for the rights of all the down-and-outers.
Speak out for justice!
Stand up for the poor and destitute!”
