"Called Out Your Name"
Brand new song and video!
We're playing the Tractor Tavern on 8/11, come see new music!
514 Rescued in Chennai, India
Good news friends!
In what is recorded as International Justice Mission's largest rescue operation EVER, 514 men, women, and children were rescued from forced labor in a brick kiln. They had experienced 18-hour workdays without adequate food or rest for an undetermined amount of time - accompanied by severe beatings and no payment for their work.
It all started with one man calling his brother from inside the kiln (in secret) and describing his situation. His brother, Boola, took action and local authorities contacted IJM. They worked together to bring restoration to these 514 people, celebrating their humanity and newfound freedom. How beautiful! And it all started with one person crying out.
What's your response to a story like this? What ball could you start rolling with your voice?
