Fight For Those Who Need To Know It's Not OVER!

 Today there are millions disappearing on Facebook in the honor of the 27 Million who have been in bondage to slavery.   And today I want to challenge others to take a stand! Perhaps your thinking this can't be true. Well let me tell you the story of  Arjun who is 9. Arjun lives in India. At the age of 5 he and his parents we're forced to  to work as slaves laboring over bricks. His owner wasn't too kind to him and would beat him along with the other slaves. And what little money was made they had to give to the owner to pay debt. However, rescue did come! A rescue team was able to work their way through to rescue to them. However it hasn't ended and we need others to take a stand so teams like International Justice Mission can get in.

I know gave you the short story of  Arjun but  I wanted to share this story to encourage you that 27 Million are not just numbers. These numbers are people. There are also several sources that can inform you about the 27 Million. Here is a list below:


  • http://www.ijm.org/ - International Justice Missions
  • http://www.love146.org/ - Love 146
  • http://www.scarlethope.org/ - Scarlet Hope ( Local in Kentucky)
  • http://www.enditmovement.com/ - End It Movement
These are not the only organizations but the fact is now we're aware what are we going to do about it.

Here are 3 ways we can step up:
  • Pray 
  • Give
  • Go
 It's time to be a voice for those who feel like they can't fight any more! And  I'm challenging my friends and others to step up by simply going to:
  • https://www.ijmfreedommaker.org/campaign/1271/Some-One-is-Going-to-Dance-For-Freedom/

 There are other ways to give as well but International Board has asked us to campaign with them. And I'm asking you to become aware and to not ignore the broken. After all Christ didn't ignore us in our brokenness.

 And perhaps when you look at Arjun below you'll think of the 27 Million
