Stop Traffick from Park Community Church on Vimeo.
I’m so excited about this.
Park has a ministry called The Just Life, which is completely ran by volunteers who are passionate about living out Micah 6:8 which says to “act justly, love mercy and walk humbly before our God.”
Social justice is “in” right now – everyone is talking about it, but it’s long since been God’s heart, to free those who are oppressed and to right that which is wrong.
A team from The Just Life started an anti-human trafficking task force to address trafficking that’s happening here in Chicago, mainly in the form of forced labor.
The team, TraffickFree, has done an incredible job of creating grassroots momentum around their ministry and has organized an entire anti-human trafficking week which will hit the streets of Chicago and create awareness from May 16-21.
The thing that is so awesome about all of this is that it’s all be run by volunteers… the ideas, the branding and graphics, their website, media, EVERYTHING.
I know as church communications people we oftentimes like to have control over everything, but I’m a firm believer that if you let people run with something (with the right tools in hand) they can create something incredible. (And something you’d never be able to on your own.)
I’m so excited and proud of this team and expectant for what will happen as a result of their efforts.
