For the cause of the down trodden

For the love of all that is holy and good, which is only Jesus Himself, would you please look at the following links?


1. Sign the petition for International Justice Mission. IJM is a missions organization that is working hard to stop human trafficking around the world. Seriously, it takes one minute. And then pass it around to everyone. Because human trafficking needs to stop NOW.

2. Speaking of human trafficking, did you know that in a few days, this will be the largest human trafficking weekend throughout the world? More women and children will be trafficked during the Supwerbowl than any other time during the year. Read this.  After you read this, will you please spend some time in serious prayer for this to end? Oh Jesus, bring your kingdom!


3. What are you doing for Lent? Do you celebrate lent? If you celebrate it, would you consider doing something different with me? And if you have never celebrated lent, would you do something different with me? Check out what World Vision is doing, and join me!! Take a peak here....

Blessings friends!

The sorrow of the Superbowl

What comes to mind when you think of the Superbowl?

Parties

Salty, fattening, too much food

Chips

Halftime show

Wardrobe malfunction

Commercials

Budweiser commercials

Oh, and maybe a little football?

How about slavery?

Yah, it was a shocker for me too.

The Superbowl is one of the most trafficked events in the US. Pimps will bring thousands of girls to be sold into prostitution during the week leading up to the Superbowl (THIS WEEK). Most of these girls will be 14 and younger. 2 years ago at the Superbowl, it was estimated that over 10,000 children and young women were brought to the Superbowl for prostitution.

It is a supply and demand issue......people are willing to pay the price, so these women are "supplied." Is your stomach turning yet? Are you thinking about those girls? Is your heart breaking? Are you FURIOUS? What emotions do you go through when you hear this?

This news was new to me, but not shocking. I am all too aware of the slave industry in our country. I am aware that there are things that we turn our backs on, that we simply don't know about, or God forbid are ignoring.

Oh sleeping country, wake up!!!!! This is not the heart of our God.  I bet He is weeping over this and longing for His people to be redeemed.

The Dallas police and officials are aware of this situation and have said they will be taking extra precautions. I am not sure of what this means, but please be in prayer for the whole situation.
