Jesus rescues and heals a little girl who was trafficked

Written by Kara Westermann

A few months ago we found out that a little girl that we know and love had been trafficked. She was taken into the governments custody as they prosecuted her parents for trafficking her. It was a messy process as we began to weave through red tape and contend for custody of her. All of our children know and love this little girl too and they began praying and believing for a miracle for her to come and live with us. They began writing prophetic words and celebrating as though the miracle had already happened because to them Jesus is faithful and He would do it. And He definitely did. Jesus broke through all the red tape and the government has granted us legal custody of this beautiful little girl. This alone was a big miracle but we soon realized we needed many more miracles once she arrived. When she came to us, she needed surgery due to the damage and abuse her body endured while being trafficked. We prayed for her body to be healed so that she wouldn’t have to endure the trauma of major surgery. And I’m so excited to say that she no longer requires surgery because Jesus has healed her body! The doctors cancelled her surgery due to the fact that they could no longer operate because she was fully healed! Thank you Jesus!!! ??
One of the things that child services has also required is that she has her own room separate from all the others. We had less than a month to build her a new room before they came back to check on her living condition. The money was already in our bank account and we were able to go out and buy the materials and begin building her room. This month she moved into her new, safe bedroom and she has a place for her heart to heal just as her body has healed. She had been placed into family with us and she now attends one of the top private schools in the country and she absolutely loves school. Her walls have already come crashing down and after being with us for only a few weeks, she asked us if she could accept Jesus in her heart and be baptized. Over 50 people showed up to the lagoon to celebrate her baptism with us and the multitude of miracles that Jesus did for this beautiful little one. He cares so deeply for every single one of His children!!
