Hey Goa team!
It’s finally time to give you a few more details about your trip! This fall semester is going to be an incredible one where you’re going to see God do great things in you, and in the people of India. It will be hard at times, but know that it’s all worth it. Get excited!
You guys will be in Goa and working with Rahab’s Rope Ministry. The mission of Rahab's Rope is to give hope and opportunity to women and girls that have been forced into the commercial sex trade of India. They provide a safe and loving environment that will enable these women and girls to grow and develop both physically and spiritually.
“Our vision is to see lives transformed by God's love in action. We reveal His love in a way that an individual can see, understand, and respond to in faith. God allows us to facilitate the process by which each woman in our care is first provided for emotionally, physically, and spiritually, then provided with basic education and training in vocational skills and eventually enabled to re-enter her community in a positive and contributing way. We equip each woman to reach out to her community and create a current of positive change.”

There is a general packing list that can be found in your Profile by going to Mobilization Info tab and then to the preparation section. There are not any additional items that you need to pack other than what is listed. As a general rule, shorts and sleeve-less shirts are not culturally appropriate. After you arrive, you will need to have saris and/or salwars tailored.
Of course, if you have any questions about anything here, please let me know!
