Don't look away, take a second look! January 11th is Human Trafficking Awareness Day - #HumanTraffickingDay

The signs are everywhere, sometimes, you just have to take a second look. Human trafficking is modern-day slavery and it happens today in our own communities. It is not only a thing that is happening far away, but it is happening shockingly close by. 

January 11th is Human Trafficking Awareness Day. We want to encourage everyone to "Take a Second Look", because your second look could be 'their' second chance. 

Here is a short video by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aG1Jd3PF-JU):

As we were discussing the topic of Human Trafficking in the team, one of the team members recalled a song that was re-released a few weeks ago. A song called "Freedom" by Jesus Culture on their album Cafe Sessions (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKxeZsZvp7E). Chris linked the song to the topic when he shared that this song describes the Freedom that we, as a team, wish everyone is able to enjoy. He emphasized that if we do nothing, nothing changes. Victims of Human Trafficking do not have the freedom we (as Christians) seek for our own lives and wish to share with others. We just cannot look away!


You can help play a role in ending human trafficking by learning key indicators of the crime, raising awareness of human trafficking within your family, community, or industry, and reporting suspected trafficking incidents. Individuals living in certain areas, working in particular industries, or with specific audiences may be more likely to observe human trafficking by nature of their day-to-day job duties or surroundings. 

Please don't look away! You can help by taking a second look and sharing suspected human trafficking with your local authorities.

"Jesus I Do" by John Perkins: Surrendering to Saving Grace

(by Jasper Tan) John Perkins' latest release, "Jesus I Do," is a soulful and heartfelt Christian Contemporary song that offers a very personal testimony of John finding his way back to God while navigating a turbulent time in his life. You could feel Perkins' emotions poured into this song, knowing that he had been struggling emotionally before he found inspiration to write this song. The song's arrangement opens with a contemplative mood, driven by acoustic piano, and builds into a more layered sound. As the song progresses, soulful elements are incorporated, which are further enhanced by the emotive background harmonies that serve as the foundation of the song.  The lyrics of the song make use of metaphors on a maritime journey that mirrors one's spiritual awakening. How being alone on the ocean, drifting directionless until finding a profound sense of being saved, that one can only experience in the solace of God. The chorus is a simple yet very powerful de...

"Come Alive" by JONATHYN: Grace Restoring the Broken

(by Jasper Tan) "Come Alive" by JONATHYN is an uplifting CCM-Pop track that talks about spiritual renewal, grace, and finding purpose through our Christian faith. The song dwells on the classic darkness-to-light narrative, which is a common theme for those who are struggling with their Faith. The song begins by describing our state of being in a spiritual exhaustion, mirroring that feeling like we are breathing lead. It also speaks about our life that at times feels like it is dead, despite being alive in this world. This happens when we keep on making the wrong turn, and these frequent mistakes become our frustration. And in a twist of irony, sometimes we are being led to deeper depression, especially if we are clutching for hope, yet this is devoid of a firm foundation. And the chorus is where we are reminded that it is only through God and his gift of hope, which gives us new life and makes us feel much more alive. This is the emotional peak of the song, where the song tra...
