At the End of Slavery-IJM film at MIPC



am happy to report that nearly 70 compassionate individuals showed up at MIPC on Oct. 20th for the screening of International Justice Mission's documentary, "At the End of Slavery: The Battle for Justice in our Time."

Many signed postcards, urging passage of federal anti-trafficking legislation (HR 2737). Many gave what they had. One attendee initially gave $1, but when he realized he actually had $5 he could give, he gave that. Many expressed a desire to do something to stop the exploitation of children and put an end to modern day slavery, of which over 27 million are victims. The attendees asked excellent questions. I give thanks to God that so many people showed they care for those who are most vulnerable.
