The A21 Campaign "was born when the decision was made to put our hand up and be that "someone" [who should do something]. It was a decision of ordinary people who decided to take responsibility regarding the issue of human trafficking." Now sure what human trafficking is? Read here. What you read will astound you!

GodChicks has brought to our attention the plight of a married mum in Pakistan named Asia. "She was arrested by police on Friday, June 19, 2009 on charges of blasphemy. Asia is the wife of 50-year-old Ashiq Masih, and their family is one of only three Christian familieis in a village of more than 1,500 families." Asia and her family need people to pray, write letters of encouragement and to be an advocate.
Life is about relationship. Helping those in need and using our gifts and talents to bring salt and light where there is darkness. And there is SO much darkness in the world, but the age of salt and light is here.
Reach out and help. Do something.
