LIFE IMPACT INTERNATIONAL<\/strong><\/h4>

Headed by Lana Vasquez, their mission is to Prevent, Rescue and Heal<\/strong>:<\/p>

PREVENT<\/strong>
We prevent child exploitation by targeting the most vulnerable and at-risk children, families, and communities through educational & awareness projects, feeding programs, and outreaches, as well as emergency family support.<\/p>

RESCUE<\/strong>
We are a part of a governmental network consisting of the police, social welfare, hospitals, and community leaders that inform us of the next child in need of rescue. We then investigate the situation and intervene.<\/p>

HEAL<\/strong>
We don’t just rescue children, we take every step possible<\/strong> to bring restoration, healing, and wholeness to each child entrusted to our care. We make sure that they are given the love and childhood they deserve.<\/p>

They now are helping in Thailand, Myammar, Brazil, the United Kingdom and Australia.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Thailand Mission Trip Successful!<\/strong><\/p>

The 2016 ALFC Thailand Mission Team\u00a0arrived Sunday, November 20, 2016 safely back in Los Angeles after a somewhat challenging but successful missions trip to Thailand near the Myanmar (Burma)\/Thailand border. We were there from 11-9 to 11-20-2016.<\/p>

We were there in cooperation with\u00a0Life Impact International\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0headed by founder, Lana Vasquez. We were able to minister to the children, house parents and Life Impact staff during the trip.<\/p>

All of us (the team) were stretched in ways we didn\u2019t expect and it was rewarding for all of us.<\/p>

We want to personally thank Lana, Danielle King (our Life Impact team coordinator) , all of the translators, pastors we met during the trip that helped make it a life changing event for us as well as the people of Thailand we were able to minister to.<\/p>

We also want to thank all of our supporters, ALFC Mission\u2019s ministry, our family and friends and all that prayed for our safety and that the gospel would be proclaimed to unreached souls, which it was.<\/p>

And lastly to our co-team members who made leading this team look like a piece of cake. We love all of you!!<\/p>

The day that changed everything: Election 2016, as it happened<\/h3>

It was supposed to be the coda to a long, brutal presidential campaign. The onset of a new era in American politics.<\/p>

And it was \u2013 just not in the way the candidates, their staffers, voters and the reporters who covered them all had expected.<\/p>

November 8, 2016, means different things to different people. For supporters of President Donald Trump, the date represents a kind of deliverance, their faith in the billionaire businessman rewarded after months of polls suggesting his campaign was doomed.<\/p>

Hillary Clinton\u2019s coalition, along with a vocal band of \u201cNever Trump\u201d Republicans, regard it quite differently. Many entered the Javits Center in New York City that evening for a party. For history. They left shattered.<\/p>

This is the story of Election Day in 2016, from the last gasp campaign events, to the heady (for Clinton) early hours and glorious (for Trump) evening. The \u201cday\u201d \u2013 all 36 hours of it \u2013 ended at the White House, where President Barack Obama acknowledged the result.<\/p>
