Living Our Fatith

SO many people have asked, "Why  are you Modern Day Abolitionists against Human Trafficking, a form of Modern day Slavery?"  ... Because we have heard the cry of the oppressed like 60,000 other young Christians in our country. 07:28 AM ET College students raise funds to fight slavery By Jordan Hultine, CNN "Atlanta (CNN)–More than 60,000 young Christians packed the Georgia Dome in Atlanta for worship and inspiration at the Passion 2013 conference that wrapped up on Friday. They came together from 56 countries and 2,300 universities, according to organizers, “to shine a light on modern-day slavery.”

“We believe when you fill a dome full of people who say they follow Jesus, there should be some tangible action,” said Bryson Vogeltanz, chief steward of Passion’s freedom initiative. That tangible action came in the form of tens of thousands of towels and socks donated by conference-goers to be handed out at local homeless shelters in the weeks following the conference." As our sisters and brothers were donating towels and socks to homeless shelters in Atlanta, our BCD's (Benedictine Cor Defenders) have been distributing comfort bags in New Jersey and Pennsylvania to shelters for the homeless, human trafficking survivors, and families of Hurricane Sandy. We can all do some act of kindness to bring hope and compassion to those who are suffering or alone.
