So I was reading the news and came across this very interesting story of a millionaire who had slaves. It happens today. (http://edition.cnn.com/2008/CRIME/06/26/sabhnani.sentence.ap/index.html) So many people don’t know that it’s true. I was on the airplane coming back to England and this lady asked me what I do and I told her that I’m in missions and am passionate about raising awareness about Human trafficking and the sex-slave trade and that I’m in the process of trying to pioneer some ministry that tackles that problem even if it only reaches a few. You see she didn’t know that human slavery was real, that it happens in America, England, the West. She was shocked when I began telling her about cases I’ve heard of in the news and of how they’re lured in and captured. One time someone told me that I would never make a difference. That I’m just one person. It’s useless and I shouldn’t even try. But look…I am one person and I told one person. Now 2 people know. Now what if we both tell 2 people? It’s a chain. It’s a movement. That what we need. A movement. We need to raise up and take responsibility and take action. We can’t be ignorant and silent anymore. Once you hear what goes on in the dark we have a responsibility to “shout it from the rooftops for all to hear” (Matthew 10:27). That’s what my life is about. Shouting for the ones trapped in the darkness. It’s not about making money or having a well padded, comfortable life. It’s about them. The ones who are alone in the dark with no one who cares. What about them? They’re everywhere. On sugar and coffee plantations in South America, on  farms in Africa, in retail factories in India, in homes in America, in brothels in Amsterdam, in massage parlors in England, in escort services in France, in Cuba, in China, in Russia. Everywhere. In your state or county. So what are we going to do? What are you going to do?

So yeah…on a totally different note I have some long awaited photos to share with you. I am having some problems uploading so make sure to check back soon. I may add them to my flikr so they will be on the left hand panel.

Jenny and me

Hey Nandos, good to hear ’bout your time in Amsterdam. I’m jealous of the sunshine you’re getting. And keep on going w/your passion for the voiceless. You rock!
