**There are 27 MILLION men, women, and children, WORLDWIDE, that are trapped in various forms of slavery and exploitation, and we are the generation that will break their chains of bondage and set them free. Together, we are a force for good.**
♥ I want to live a life that fearlessly proclaims the mystery of the Gospel. Hopefully this will sorta represent that. ♥

Right, this is totally victimless - having your life taken away from you and being treated like garbage doesn’t qualify you to be a victim, not at all.
This is so sad, this is really what people think and we have God on our side to change this!!

It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. - Galatians 5:1
DUDE, okay, that’s pretty darn awesome that I just found this picture in regards to the 27 million enslaved and then the verse I named by blog after - I’m thinking God is pleased with all of us bringing so much awareness and attention to the issue at hand!!! :)
For the better part of an hour, 42,000 college students stood in the frigid Atlanta night, patiently waiting for a statue illustrating the fight against human trafficking to be illuminated.
They filled the Georgia International Plaza next to the Georgia Dome stadium and stood in the crisp 40 degree air this week staring up at the 100-foot high hand reaching toward the sky. Just a few minutes after midnight, they lit candles and the lights below the statue came on. The students cheered then started to softly sing. A chant of “FREE-DOM! FREE-DOM!” grew momentum.
The event was one of the final gatherings during the Passion 2012 conference, an annual meeting of 18 to 25 year olds. The students were encouraged to donate money to causes that battle trafficking.
“Our goal is not to get a bunch of transactions. It’s not about the money,” [Vogeltanz] said. “It’s about these students lives being changed and [them] engaging … This is a shift in your core. Because once you know the facts, you can either go for it or you can ignore it. And for us, indifference is not an option.”

It is amazing, the number of things that we use on a daily basis, that are made by the poor hands of enslaved people :(
