I was in Atlanta, Ga for the Passion 2012 conference for the past four days. It was amazing, and totally overwhelming. 42,000 18-25 year-olds gathered together in the Georgia Dome to worship Jesus and raise their voices against one of the greatest injustices in the world today: slavery and human trafficking. There are 27 million men, women, and children enslaved in the world today. These victims of human trafficking are of all ages and races and, up until only a few years ago, have suffered largely unnoticed. My heart aches when I think of the children whose innocence has been brutally taken away, and the men and women who have had their dignity trampled on and mocked. And now that I know, I'm asking myself, "What will I do about it?"
