amanda kloer :: 2.30

August 13th, 2009

this week we talk with abolitionist and editor of Change.org’s end human trafficking section, Amanda Kloer. she shares some of her story and fills us in about the 27 million individuals that are being being bought and sold around the world – today.

we hope this story interrupts you today. that you start thinking about what you’re saying with your wallet and you start standing up for those held in bondage and oppression.

But he’s already made it plain how to live, what to do, what God is looking for in men and women.
It’s quite simple: Do what is fair and just to your neighbor, be compassionate and loyal in your love, and don’t take yourself too seriously — take God seriously. – Micah 6:8
