The Horror of Modern Slavery

I was just invited to join a cause on facebook called "Stop Human Trafficking", and had no hesitation in joining.

One of the speakers at this year's Global Leadership Summit (which was faaantastic by the way and well worth getting to if you have the chance - very encouraging and challenging!) was Gary Haugen from International Justice Mission.

The issue of the exploitation & abuse of vulnerable people - very often children - is something that is obviously close to the heart of God, and something He expects His children to do something about - anyone read Matthew 25 lately? (or Isaiah 58...)

Here's a link to IJM's website: http://www.ijm.org/

Also there's a "Rockumentary" called "Call + Response" which is worth a look


The main thing is though, don't just take a look.... don't even take a look and feel heartbroken.... take a look, feel heartbroken and then do something!

pray, donate, volunteer, spread awareness, join campaigns to promote the issue and provoke governments... there's so many options, so let's do something
