“Share your food with the hungry, and give shelter to the homeless. Give clothes to those who need them, and do not hide from relatives who need your help. Then your salvation will come like the dawn, and your wounds will quickly heal. Your godliness will lead you forward, and the glory of the Lord will protect you from behind.”

Bringing the light of Jesus to the hardest, darkest, and most forgotten corners in the world continues to be the guiding mission of Elpis. Unafraid of the dark places — believing His love has overcome it all —Isabella’s heart is for the marginalized and most vulnerable. Her focus is on children — especially, but not exclusively, children who are victims of human trafficking. Her heart is to partner with the global church, going wherever the Spirit leads, bringing hope and passionately partaking in building God's Kingdom.

But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!

Inspite of COVID setbacks, Isabella's faith is focused on righteousness and justice reaching the dark corners of the globe. She is awaiting open borders in Eastern Europe so she can pay her girls an in-person visit. As she waits, she continues to pour into their lives via the internet or phone contact. She’s been watching as three of them are now reaching out and ministering the gospel of Jesus to their surrounding villages during this pandemic.

This has been a sweet season for Bella of embracing where God has her — learning to be faithful in the here and now. She's using this time to press into the Father's heart and to seek for creative and more substantial ways to bring the light of Jesus to these broken and hungry hearts.

With a desire desire to be more effective in helping children in human trafficking, she has been in touch with a number of different ministries and individuals whose mission is specifically targeted to reach this population. One such mission reaches out to sustain survivors of human trafficking due to ISIS in Iraq. She has been invited to train with them in November. She would appreciate prayer for direction and to hear the heart of God for this crucial season.
