Concert to end slavery

Last night, as part of our ongoing work to highlight the problems of slavery and human trafficking, we helped film some footage for Concert To End Slavery. Clicking on the link will take you to their site, where you can view the trailer. We organized a mock pub-crawl, simulating our experiences last month distributing the posters and beer mats.

Dan,

Man the girls are getting big - starting to look like young women!

I really liked this post and the one about the jewelry. These issues of justice and environmental care are so pertinent to church planting. Something that Keller said at the Resurgence Conference last year in one of his lectures really hit home for me.

As Christians we need to have a theology that is focused around Creation-Fall-Redemption-Restoration . If we do, our involvement in reaching our cities (caring for the poor and the environment, etc) is the end and not just the means to reaching people.

That's pretty profound when you really think about it. Rather than serve our cities to meet people or to hope that it leads to a conversation about Christ (not that this is bad) we do these things (like attend a meeting of entrepreneurs) as the end - in order to affect our culture and bring about the redemption and restoration that is to come.

Missing you brother - glad you are where you are though.
