Last night was powerful! A few of us gathered in our basement to watch some videos about human trafficking and the churches response.

Wow… talk about a deep evening.

The speaker was Rob Morri of Love 146 (a Christian organization working to end child sex slavery and exploitation) – and was given at the Vineyard Boise’s Re:Form conference in Sept 2008 (Em was there…but I was at a missions conference so I missed the “live” event)

Back to last night..

Two couples from church joined us in this event to learn more about human trafficking – plus we had a very special guest!  This guest was a young lady who just returned from five weeks in Southeast Asia working among the prostitutes…[@more@]

Speaking of this guest… God is so good! Over the last two years, I had a deep desire to remodel the basement – sooner versus later. Now, as soon as we completed the remodel, God has been sending us young ladies to stay with us…

It’s like we have become a retreat center for those looking to get away from the busyness of life and re-center on God. Talk about a God thing!

Sigh… the videos….how can one describe the emotions and thoughts associated with such a topic?

The crazy thing is that this topic isn’t just a “topic” – it’s real life. I personally know people who have been trafficked across national borders against their will. It is a very real threat – one that is happening here in the USA.

Believers need to open their eyes and quite trying to sweep the “bad stuff” under the rug where they can pretend it’s not there. We need to turn the lifeboat around and go back to the sinking ship – go back with goal of transforming lives (spiritually, emotionally, and physically).

oh- by the way, you can buy the Re:Form videos online at VineyardMusic.com.
