TRAFFICK

The very first Project Rescue Human Trafficking Summit is being held this week in New York City.  Joelene and I have the privilege of attending.

Project Rescue has outreaches in Tajikistan, Moldova, India, Bangladesh, Nepal and Spain, which has quickly become the new epicenter for human trafficking in all of Western Europe.  Project Rescue is a ministry to women and children in sexual slavery focused on providing physical, emotional and spiritual restoration.

We believe God is calling us to support these kinds of efforts.

This is why Journey Church is putting together Hope Run Kenosha in a few weeks - a 5K run to raise awareness to 'stop the trafficking.'

'Stop the traffick.'

This is why Journey Church believes in ministry to orphans and foster children in need of homes.  Our goal is to erase the roll of foster children in our county over the next several years.

The Scriptures are saturated with the language of family.  The Father sent His only Son in order to gain His adopted children.  Not that they would simply become part of a church or a ministry or a cause - but be part of His family.

That's part of our story with God.  That whatever belongs to Him also belongs to His family - you - me.  Heaven is our inheritance.  It's why we store up treasures there, not here.

That's why everyone who walks in to our church as a spiritual orphan and gives his/her life to Christ walks out a spiritual son/daughter of God ---- not to mention a brother/sister of ours.

Stop the traffick.

And be blessed.
