freedom week

Rachel Danley of InterVarsity has done an outstanding job organizing Freedom Week  activities at the University of Northern Iowa Campus this week to raise awareness of the injustice of 27 million modern day slaves in our world, many of which are sex trafficked. 

Blayne Jesse and Lindsay Wenzlick worked with teens from the Salvation Army to perform a dance as a part of the evening's line up tonight.  Also included were poems, readings, and dramas that helped bring the human story and reality of 21st century slavery to the audience.   

Tomorrow (Thursday, March 29) on UNI's Campus....a capstone event beginning at 8 p.m. in Lang Hall....featuring speaker, R. York Moore.  I hope to see you there!

R. York Moore is the National Evangelist for InterVarsity Christian Fellowship/USA. He speaks widely on issues of global social injustice and is particularly passionate about the modern day slave trade. As a modern day abolitionist, R. York Moore has conducted "justice invitationals" throughout the United States in conjunction with the International Justice Mission, World Vision, the Not for Sale Campaign, and other anti-slavery non-profits.

Moore seeks to see people come to Christ through the lens of justice and become world-changing agents for Christ and His Kingdom. He and his wife live in Michigan where he came to faith from atheism as a philosophy student at the University of Michigan.
