Dressember 17th

Me, Sara, Hope and Holly

"A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;"

Ecclesiastes 3:4

"Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing."

Psalm 30:7

"Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, both young men and old together: for I [the Lord God] will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow."

Jeremiah 31:13

We know that the people who are suffering and mourning and in pain from the affects of slavery on their lives will be healed, comforted, and will learn to again rejoice in life and know true joy.

Free from fear, free from pain, free from deceit.

They will just be free.

IJM has performed over 3000 rescue operations this year through the help of people like you. Through you're support we can save children from brothels in Kolkata, we can restore homes to widows in Uganda, we can free men trapped in debt bondage in the Middle East.

We can help people just like us.

We can give them hope for a future without sadness.

We can give them reason to dance.

"My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.

"On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand."

-The Solid Rock-

and Raising awareness of the Modern-day Slave Trade

Some of us got to go see the new Hobbit movie with friends last night - The Desolation of Smaug. We all really enjoyed the film and had such fun since we dressed up like Middle Earthians. :^) I thought I'd share some of the shots we took before heading out to the movie!

“Since it is so likely that (children) will meet cruel enemies, let them at least have heard of brave knights and heroic courage. Otherwise you are making their destiny not brighter but darker.”

-C.S. Lewis

There are brave people, like those who work with International Justice Mission, who are fighting with heroic courage the long and trying battle against Slavery.

Wont you stand with them?

Did you know they're are approximately 27 Million slaves in the world today? They need a voice, they need a defender.

You could be that hero.

I really have a hard time with the 'awesome/epic' face I was told to do. lol
