international justice mission

did you know there are 27 million slaves in the world today? that's more than there ever were during the transatlantic slave trade. and yet most people don't even know about it. well, now you know. and you should tell somebody else.
tonight at rmu, we're having an end of the year event with a band that raises awareness for the international justice mission, an organization committed to bringing justice to people who are being oppressed in the world. i'm in my office right now, making a few copies of the speech given by the president of ijm, gary haugen, at jubilee this year, so we can give them away at the show. some of my students are starting a chapter of ijm on campus, and they're using this event as a kick-off. please pray for them as they try to raise awareness for change at rmu.
