You want to make a difference in the world. But where do you start?
In our global society, Christian women are more aware than ever before of the world's problems—war, hunger, natural disaster, AIDS. But tucked away in our individual homes, we can feel far from the frontlines of difficulty—and powerless in the face of devastation.
Knowing this, TCW has decided to take on one topic this year: sex trafficking. We'll educate you about the startling statistics as well as the courageous women combating this evil. And through our partnership with FAAST, the Faith Alliance Against Slavery and Trafficking, you can help fund Rapid Response Kits for women rescued from trafficking's snare.
Because together, drawing strength from our Heavenly Father, we can make a difference.
