Cathey Anderson

In late 2011 FIRST PERSON told the story of a remarkable group of women who were setting out to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro in Africa to bring attention to and raise support for at-risk women and children around the world. That first Freedom Climb– Justice for Women in early 2012 was a great success. Now, nearly 50 women have been training and are setting their sights in April on a Mt. Everest Base Camp climb which is going to be far more of a challenge.

This week, I’ve invited Cathey Anderson of Operation Mobilization to join me to both give a report on the first Freedom Climb, and to give us a preview of the plans to Climb Mt. Everest Base Camp and summit one of the 18,000 ft. peaks next month.  This is no stroll in the park, but a strenuous climb with a purpose.  It’s all meant to come to the aid of women and children who are oppressed, enslaved, exploited, and trafficked throughout the world.

You can help by supporting one or more of the climbers.  Just click on The Freedom Climb banner on the right side of this page and sign up to pray, give, and support in every way these brave, caring women.

NEXT WEEK: Keith and Kristyn Getty
