How our missionary journey unfolded…
After seven years of marriage we had our fist baby. I thought we’d travel the world before we had kids, then settle down and start a family. Nope. It didn’t work that way! We kept so busy with work and “making money” that we never pursued our dreams of working in missions full-time and traveling around the world wherever God would lead us… until we had kids!!!
Three kids later, we have been on four continents with our children and have started a non-profit organization with various anti-trafficking projects and businesses that benefit orphanages in India!
Being “Missionaries” is a family endeavor for us Dohertys! Our three kiddos love traveling to remote places as much as we do, to bring rescue, love, and hope to those in need!

While we are at our “home base” in the U.S., we run Dignata Ranch, a missionary training school to send out more people to reach the exploited, whether trafficked girls, orphans and street kids, and raising awareness about exploitation via social media to kids and youth.
