As I am writing this I have been overwhelmed by the response of friends in my generation regarding human trafficking. Last week I was able to participate in a conference called passion where we were encouraged to unify our voices to end human trafficking. We raised more than 3 million dollars to help several orgazinations that are passionate about serving the Lord and are combating human trafficking!
The issue of modern-day slavery has been affecting an estimated of 27 million of people who find themselves oppressed and are living in the shadows. This is the largest number of slaves in human history.
On Sunday night, our church held a special worship service. It was a little different since we used arts, poetry, and dance to be reminded of others that are living in the shadows. We joined voices with Art4Abolition (http://www.art4abolition.org) whose passion involves in raising awareness about human trafficking and modern-day slavery.
We had an amazing time celebrating a God who has called us to experience freedom. There is no freedom apart from Him and we cannot be ambassadors of freedom apart from Him. Therefore, we must be filled with God's Spirit in order to go out and make an impact in life of others that have been oppressed, abused, or that may simply need a word of encouragement. May we provide a song of freedom to others and may we glorify the Lord by offering our lives back to him!
"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen (Ephesians 3:20-21)."
