Why This Matters

There are pearls hidden in darkness and they must be recovered.

Lisa Bevere spent time in Cambodia and Thailand witnessing firsthand the brutality of the human trafficking industry. Her son, Austin, was in London when he also realized the importance of bringing solution to this injustice. Their hearts break for the women and children whose innocence is being stolen by a giant that must be defeated. 

Out of this passion, Pearl Alliance was formed.

Upon finalizing the name for this outreach, we discovered Cambodia is known as the ‘Pearl of Asia’… again confirming we are partnering with the heart of God to bring solution to the *second largest criminal industry in the world. (*cited, Polaris Project)

Can plunder be retrieved from a giant, prisoners of war gotten back from a tyrant? But God says, "Even if a giant grips the plunder and a tyrant holds my people prisoner, I'm the one who's on your side, defending your cause, rescuing your children. ~ Isaiah 49:25 The Message
