72 days

February 27th 268 Generation started 72daysforfreedom.com to combat and make known the significance of human trafficking in the world.

Most people have no idea that this is a major issue in the world. Before I went to Passion 2012, I had absolutely NO idea that it was this big of an issue. Human trafficking was happening right there in Atlanta. It was mind blowing really, that 27 million people are in modern day slavery. Who would have thought?

So back to the 72 days. It's a campaign that includes prayer, donations, and the rising of the Freedom Art Installation. It's a hand that was created at Passion 2012 that has prayers and numerous other things written on fabrics created by slaves and such. It was on International Plaza at the Georgia Dome during Passion 2012, but came back down. So Louie Giglio worked with the city of Atlanta to get it up again, and it's up right now for 72 days at Passion City Church. It's truly a testament to so many things. One being how Passion 2012 raised 3.5 MILLION dollars for slavery. Incredible!

So I encourage you to get educated on this major issue, to go to the 72 days for Freedom website, and see what they are doing. Whether you are Christian or not, this is a modern day issue. Learn about it, get educated, see what's being done to combat it. It's truly inspiring to hear some of the stories. The Freedom Film is posted on the website and I encourage you to watch it. It'll truly make you think twice.

Here's to 72 days towards FREEDOM!

In Christ,
