I may be biased, but IJM is basically the best thing out there.
We handed out price tags for students to wear symbolizing that they were taking a stand against human slavery, hosted speakers, screened an anti-human trafficking movie, and hosted a Rock Opera about human trafficking written by one of Pepperdine's own.
Praise God for last week!
Abolition!
Pepperdine has some passionate people :)
Besides this being one of the biggest things on my heart, that is not the point of this post.
As part of Abolition Week, Anne Bissell, a sex trafficking victim, came to speak at Pepperdine.
Her story and recovery completely ripped me apart.
I have heard it said by multiple pastors in a wonderful city about 9 hours north of here, that your passion is what moves you to tears. When you hear a certain subject matter and it moves you to tears...well...that's passion. And it is not just the death and resurrection...because as the bride of Christ, we should all be moved to tears by His sacrifice.
Well, for me, it is sexual slavery/rape/sexual exploitation. I will break down every time. Guaranteed.
I really do not know how to convey what I want to say.
But you know what, Anne Bissell does...
Check out her organization, The Silver Braid, at

Stand up. Support. And fight.
