International Rescue of Women & Children. Pray for Success!

Just got my confirmed report from our team lead on a tense situation project we have been deeply committed to and working on that Phase 1 is complete and stable. It was definitely unstable and now moving into Phase 2 which will include the need for safe travels over a number of check points and countries to get our assets to a safe place.
Thank you for praying and supporting ATP or this would not be happening (the saving of lives and future impact of helping girls either currently being held captive or formerly held capture and abused, r***d, tortured.
I will update in next day or two.
It's hard not sharing all the Intel but for security and safety of several lives, we just can't.
I will say that this project and outcome has a direct impact on the well being of one of the most effective facilitators of girls being rescued/released from Daesh (Isis).

Again thank you for your prayers and support of ATP High Risk Missionary work, https://secure.qgiv.com/for/MRLAV6Q7ABDXW773X6SK/mobile/donations/

o God be the Glory,

Project Rescue Beauty Update:

While she is still shaky, experiencing diarrhea, and jumps at little sounds, she has also - just yesterday- started playing with me. We have a puppy rope knot toy we bought for her. I am so thrilled that she has now started to get her playful puppy nature that she probably never got to experience.

Sadly, a challenge is to keep her from eating her pooh. This is one of the dreadfully heartbreaking realities for dos that have been starving, they will eat their pooh since sometimes that was all that was available to them. So we watch her like a hawk and then I dig a divot out of the grass - where it is- and throw away the whole clump. I hope she will soon overcome this habit, but even with food always available to her, as it is, she may persist in this habit for awhile.

This morning, she rolled over so I could pet her tummy for the first time.
All in all, she is making a remarkable recovery.
She will see the vet again next week for continuing care.

Beauty sleeping happily with a little one.

Please help!

We pulled poor Beauty from a rural animal shelter to save her from extermination. She is only a puppy. She was severely malnourished, dehydrated, anemic, could not keep any food in and has a heart murmur.  I personally drove 4 hours each way to pull her from the shelter. Part Black Lab & part Gr...
