Stop Modern Slavery
One of our students at AU Chi Alpha is leading the charge on raising awareness about modern slavery and her passion is contagious.
In case you didn’t know, modern day slavery includes both sex trafficking and labor exploitation. Sadly, both of these tragedies occur on a regular basis in Washington, DC. Recently, a massage parlor less than six miles from our apartment was shut down because the women working there had been trafficked.
This is one of those situation where it is so tempting to ask God, “Where are you when this happens?”. But, I think that it is in these moments, when girls and boys as young as eight are bring sold into the sex trade industry, that God asks us, “Where are you when this happens?”.
My wife Hannah is participating in the walk and raising money for Restoration Ministries, a faith-based organization that helps bring awareness as well as healing to those that have been entrapped in modern day slavery all throughout Washington, DC.
Would you consider giving to the cause in her name?
It costs $15 for her to register for the event and I would like for you to consider donating so that she can be a part of what will be the largest awareness event for modern slavery ever in the district. And perhaps, as a community of friends, we could raise more than just $15. What do you think?
Getting involved…
Drop me a comment (enter your name and email in the appropriate fields) that says, “I want to contribute $__ to stop Modern Day Slavery” and then I will contact you and walk you through the giving process.
Thanks for being a part of this!
