Be gorgeous

Today I held a morning tea party for Be Gorgeous, a charity that raises faith and funds for projects that impact women all over the world. They have built safe houses for women of DR Congo, enabled a woman to have plastic surgery to repair her face that was mutilated in Northern Uganda, and encouraged hundreds of farmers’ wives. We jumped on the bandwagon and raised funds this morning that will go toward rescuing women caught in human trafficking.

27 million people in the world are caught in human trafficking. It is estimated that 1% of those will ever be rescued in their lifetime. We all thought that slavery was abolished centuries ago, however it is more alive now in our modern world, than ever before. As a friend said this morning, we send troups to fight for terrorism but what do we do about evils such as human trafficking?

Micah 6:8  The LORD God has told us what is right and what he demands: "See that justice is done, let mercy be your first concern, and humbly obey your God."

Living right doesn’t just mean being honest, trustworthy, and the like. It also means making sure justice is carried out on the earth. You can do something. You have all the resources you need to do something. What will you do today?

Be amazing.
