BLUE HEART INTERNATIONAL - Missy McCall
STOPPING HUMAN TRAFFICKING

Missy McCall

Missy McCall was introduced by Doug Haaland. Missy was born in Merced, California. She fell out of a three story window at the age of twelve and was paralyzed from the waist down. Missy found the Lord and promised that should she walk again, she would serve him forever. She did walk again and promised to start a woman’s center to help people going through hardship. At age 30, Missy met an incredible woman who educated her on the severity and seriousness of human trafficking. Missy developed a passion which grew into starting the Blue Heart Foundation. Missy has made the life-long commitment to maintain the integrity of her foundation and has promised her life to helping people in need, making the world a better place, one heart at a time.
Missy gave us some startling statistics about the serious problem of human trafficking. She said that the problem is growing enormously in California.  People are being raped, sometimes 15 times a day. Forty percent of the pimps are women. There is a grooming process, where the victim slowly grows into a relationship with the pimp and takes the individual away from their family – and are led into drugs and prostitution.
Missy gets up early in the morning and walks Stockton Blvd and befriends people there and help them to get off the street.
There is a law SB 1322 which was recently passed that decriminalizes underage prostitution. It makes the problem worse. The problem is that in today’s society, sex is casual, kids are selling themselves in school, celebrities encourage moral laxity, we need to learn more about mental disorders and drugs.
President Greg mentioned that he was inspired by Missy’s amazing dedication and work and in honor of her presentation, a book will be donated to the Carmichael library (Sacramento Public Library).
Missy and her friend Diane left some informational flyers which are published below:

Book Donations, the Gifts that Keep on Giving - update, June 26, 2018
During the incumbency of  President David Thorman,(2013-14) it was decided that instead of giving a particular gift, ie coffee mug, pen etc. to honor our guest speaker each week, we would simply donate a book to the Carmichael Library. So below are some of the books that we have donated in honor of recent speakers.
It is the "gift that keeps of giving" because those who will check out these books from the library will derive many hours of pleasure for years to come, and it enhances learning and literacy. The books are chosen by Berta Boegel, Branch Supervisor, Carmichael Library, subsidiary of the Sacramento Public Library
rboegel@saclibrary.org

SPEAKERS/BOOK DONATIONS TO THE CARMICHAEL LIBRARY

 
 
As of June 26, 2017, we have purchased nearly 160 titles in honor of our speakers! Because of the large number of books, we are not showing them all at this time.
