Human Trafficking
Today, millions of lives around the world are in the grip of injustice. More children, women and men are held in slavery right now than over the course of the entire trans-Atlantic slave trade: an estimated 27 million, mainly women and children, are trapped in forced labor, suffering great violence and oppression. As followers of Jesus, we believe we’re called to help set these people free. During the month of January, we’ll be launching a multi-touch point campaign to raise awareness and raise funds for victims of trafficking. We will be challenged to Enter into the Stories, to Speak Up for those who can’t be heard, to Shop Wisely so that we’re not buying slave products and to Give Generously.
How to get involved in this campaign:
- READ: Get a book in the Welcome Area, Not for Sale: The Return of the Global Slave Trade--and How We Can Fight It. $12
- GIVE: Take can labels for our coin (and non-coin) drive! For every $700 raised, we will get to host one class for girls in Vietnam that will help prevent them from being trafficked AND give one person their freedom through IJM.
- WATCH: Have your small group watch the documentary by IJM, At the End of Slavery.
- PRAY: Pick up a January devotional and go through it daily with your family.
- TALK: Become a fan of the "Creekside Covenant Church" Facebook group and join the conversation.
