Faint Not and Don't forget

I love music.  I don't think I have ever gone a day without listening to some kind of music,  (And I'm pretty sure you haven't either.)  And I really like Jenny and Tyler a couple who does some music that I really like.  They have partnered with IJM as well and are coming out with a new CD called For Freedom A Covers EP that will support IJM's work.  I can't wait to get it!  I'll let you know when it's available!  But for now here is a music video of my favorite song.  It's my favorite not only because it's a great reminder for us not to give up, but it also has one line that says: "We quit because it's not an easy fix and then forget that they are even there - We forget to care." 

How often do we forget that there are people suffering right now?  I know I do.  But let us not forget.  Let us ask God for his heart so that we might feel what he feels...

 
 
Hebrews 13:3
"Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body."
(KJV)  
 
"Oh my soul, faint not, no, faint not
Oh my soul, keep up, up in love"
- Jenny and Tyler

International Justice Mission

Hello there!  Sorry I haven't posted in such a long time!  But my September has been quite busy, (I'm sure yours has been as well!).  But anyway, I decided to post a bit about the ministry I am supporting...

It is called International Justice Mission (IJM).   They are a human rights agency that secures justice for victims of slavery, sexual exploitation, and other forms of violent oppression.

For starters I will be raising $4500 to support their work.  "Why this much?"  You may ask.  Well,  it takes about this amount for IJM to conduct a rescue operation that gives  freedom to those held in the slavery and some basic support  for them as well.

I have read many of their stories of hope and redemption.  The work of IJM is amazing!  They have been fighting for justice since 1997.  If you would like to learn more, check out IJM's website.  You can also go to IJM's Facebook page, It has some good stuff on it too!

 
Here is a video about the first 15 years of IJM's work.  Very cool!
 



Even though IJM does amazing work to end slavery, there  are still millions held in the grip of injustice.  Will you help?


All that is necessary for the triumph evil is that good men do nothing."
