Love is against the Grain

Do you remember the Dime Store Prophets from the 90's? Their lead singer Justin Stevens (aka Justin Dillon) is front and center in the "call + response" to the issue of sex trafficing.

Sex /slave trade film from Justin Dillon. Here's the link to the video on CNN .

Well worth investing a few minutes into if you ask me.

A Sad Kind of Missions

I know there are several folks who are missionaries or who provide service opportunities of the church to serve Christ, but serving others and this might now surprise them.

I heard a story this weekend while I was in Virginia. It's a third hand story, so please assign the appropriate amount of value to it.

A group of adults from a Virginian church went on a missions trip to a country in southern Africa. While they were there they decided they didn't want to work at least one of the days they were there. So they hired the locals for a few bucks each to do they work they went to do. Then the adults went on a safari.

It doesn't surprise me now that I think about it. Ever hear of such a thing?
