My name is Samantha Stokesberry. I created this blog about five years ago to give my supporters, donors, prayer warriors, friends, and family a little taste of the crazy adventures that the Lord has taken me on while flying back and forth between my two homes, Miami, FL and South Africa. Now, I live in Austin, Texas and I am on my way to becoming a licensed professional counselor with the goal of working with sex trafficking survivors on their road to recovery.
Serving in the global anti-human trafficking realm has been an adventure filled with new challenges and heart-wrenching stories. By reading this blog, you’ll get a first-hand look into my perfectly imperfect, faith-filled life accompanied by lots of laughs, a moderate amount of tears, and tons of truth. So feel free to click around and stay awhile.
A girl full of passion. A love for people. A calling from God. These three ingredients have created a unique and incredible mission for my life, and I couldn’t have asked for a better place to put that mission into action. South Africa.

Every New Year’s Eve, I ask God to give me one specific thing to focus on for the year. Sometimes He gives me a verse, a word, or a phrase. That way, no matter what the year has in store or how messy life…
