I met him in high school. He was the new kid in town. His dad was our new superintendent for our school district. We ran in the same group of friends. We graduated high school. We went to the same college. We saw each other randomly. We graduated and moved into the real world. We haven't kept in touch more than what an average facebook post would communicate.
Until a few days ago. It all started with a facebok message.
See, my old high school friend Rod, works with Freedom Firm in India. He is working to arrest those who are trafficking women and child into the sex slave industry. They also are working on helping restore victims.
Tonight he came to Albion College. He shared all about Freedom Firm, showed a movie that they are making, and sold jewelery that the women make.
Tonight I am thankful for the ways that christians around the world are seeking justice among slaves. Do you know there are more slaves today, than during the trans-atlantic slave trade? Crazy, huh? I am grateful for Rod. I am grateful for his ministry, for him coming to Albion to share with students and to see how God has been working on his heart.
I am thankful for Albion students who want to do something about this cruel injustice. Cruel, cruel, cruel, evil. And they want to make it stop. I am so proud of them, and glad to partner with them.
And......I am going to host a jewelery party. The jewelery is made by form sex slaves, and used to give them income. Who is interested in purchasing some beautiful jewelery? I did tonight!!!
