They are Not For Sale

27 million children are trafficked every year.

Children as low as 4 are sold into sex slavery. Children are sold into forced labor, brothels, and as child soldiers all around the world. Human Trafficking is happening in your backyard.

Human Trafficking is quickly becoming the largest trade in the world, larger than drugs and weapons.

Human Trafficking needs to STOP.

We are modern day abolitionists. We are artists, teachers, athletes; students, business people, consumers; we are ordinary people, joining together to end slavery. They are NOT FOR SALE.

This was the theme for the Not For Sale conference we had the other week. As a DTS, we were the host for this conference. We cleaned and set up, worked at booths, set up art, filmed the speakers, and made sure everything ran smoothly. For me, it was a blast. I was on the security team and the film team. It was such a great experience to be working on making this amazing conference work together. It was so much fun to get filming experience with a live director. And it was an absolute blast to work as security, and being in charge. It was an amazing conference, and really inspiring.

The conference lasted three days, and then the whole DTS was off to the mini outreach, which was basically just a week long outreach to prep for big outreach, and minister to the people closer to our area. The majority of the group stayed in Hamburg, and our video team went off to Cheb, in the Czech Republic, to film our movie.

We're making a movie on Human Trafficking, to raise awareness. It's going to be anywhere between 45-90 minutes. It was an absolute blast to film, as cold and rainy as it was. There was a couple of late nights where we were filming on the side of the road in the cold windy rain. It was a pretty good/miserable time. But mostly great :)

Cheb was a super interesting town. It's very prostituted, sex oppressed, and gambling oppressed. Quite a depressing town, with lots of racism among the different people groups. Even so, it was such a fun town. We had such a blast in that town. There was only 12 of us there, but we all got along perfectly. It was almost a perfect group. We all got along well, and made so many inside jokes. It was a great bonding time. We went on prayer walks while we were there, and really just tried to spiritually fill the town with more positive spirits. We went to an English club on Friday night, and got to talk to a whole bunch of Czech students trying to learn English. It was really great just to meet a whole bunch of people, and get to make new friends.

Not to mention, while we were there we got to hit up the hot springs, which were absolutely amazing. All in all, it was a pretty beautiful mini outreach, and a good prep for big outreach :) And we got a good headway on our movie, which will be done before the end of the DTS!

So yeah. That's what these last two weeks entailed :) Love you all, thanks for following my trip!

Ciao!
