a little over a month ago, a student organization here at the university of iowa called Students Abolishing Slavery held a viewing of this movie. Nefarious was a powerful film in more ways than one. it plainly described the tragedy of the sex trade in our present world in an artful way.
despite it's horrific focus and against all odds, the film ended with a hopeful spirit. this organization seeks to raise awareness of modern day slavery and the sex trade, rescue women by setting up lighthouses, and reach and change the hearts of men. but it was clear at the film's end that only true healing can come from the power of Jesus Christ. this is the message they carry with them.
it was not a difficult decision to choose to give Exodus Cry monthly support. i talked to bryan about it and we decided to add it to our budget.
how can you contribute?
- purchase and watch the documentary or consider hosting a viewing
- consider making a one-time donation to Exodus Cry
- purchase the "Hold On" cd as a gift or for your family, music inspired by the Nefarious Film
- consider becoming a monthly partner with the Exodus Cry ministry

ReplyDeleteNever heard about the Exodus Cry... we'll have to look it up.
ReplyDeleteI bought a large bag at the Adoleo/Anthem concert, and I must say, it's a pretty fetching addition to the fabulous knitting bag you made for me. These crafts are well-made and for such a great cause!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to read more about Exodus Cry and more of your blog. I agree that true salvation from all earthly woes lies in Christ alone. These earrings are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove it! LisaGrace, girl, I have to stop and see you sometime on my drive through.
