Theme Verse

This seems like such a great verse for our trip....
Jesus, quoting Isaiah, said…“The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.” Luke 4:18-19 NIV

(From Charlotte) We're just over a week away from this trip, and I'm still trying to wrap my brain around the whole concept of trafficking in persons. The world has always had enslavement, just like it's always had corruption and greed and racism. Why do we think we can make a difference, much less eradicate such evil? Why do we go? Because God says Go, help the oppressed and the enslaved and those in poverty. And I will be with you to the end of the age.
