I was at a concert at Columbia University last night that was hosted to bring awareness of the issue of child trafficing.  I met Grace Akallo and was deeply moved by her story.  Grace was captured at the age of 15 to be a part of the Lord’s Resistance Army in Uganda.  It is an army almost entirely made of abducted children. Grace is becoming an international spokesperson for the plight of children who are being used against their will.

These are the things that should provoke our conscience.  We have much to do to stop the tide of horror that children face everyday on this earth.  There is a walk this Sunday to bring awareness to the sex slave trafficing of children around the world (it’s just as real in the U.S. as anywhere else).

This is not pleasant stuff, nor should it be.  The gospel compels us to look at the world as it is and to bring it toward what it should be.  Would you please join me in making a stand and getting involved to stop the slavery of our generation?  Don’t go the other way, these children are depending on us.
