MATTHEW AND MELISSA STOCK
THANK YOU FOR YOUR DONATIONS to AIM
This is truly a story of hope! Thanks to everyone who donated to our Easter project in support of the good work of Matthew and Melissa Stock with AIM (Agape International Missions) in Cambodia. You raised $30,000! Wow! What a difference this will make in helping to prevent sex trafficking and child prostitution in Cambodia. You are changing lives! Many thanks to these families for your participation!
