God’s Children Not For Sale: The Sound Of Freedom Movie

God's Children Not For Sale

Have you seen the “The Sound of Freedom” movie yet?

Please go see this movie, and take your age-appropriate family members.

It’s up to us to spread awareness in order to finally put an end to the sick and demonic atrocity of child trafficking.

According to the gruesome statistics, an estimated two million children are trafficked every year to become sex slaves. (Sound of Freedom movie, n.d.)1     

Two million.

Let that sink in.

That’s a bigger number than the entire population of San Diego . . . or Dallas, etc. (worldpopulationreview, n.d.)2

The “Sound of Freedom” movie is based on the true story about the heroic efforts of former special agent Tim Ballard and others to rescue the innocents. Ballard is also the founder of Operation Underground Railroad.

Jim Caviezel (of “The Passion of the Christ”) and Mira Sorvino are two of the award-winning actors starring in this powerful film.

Right now only 0.4% of human trafficking victims are ever discovered and either rescued or exited themselves. We all have to do more.Mira Sorvino, actress.3

God’s Children – Not For Sale

Did you know that the sex slave trade is the fastest growing criminal enterprise in the world?4

Did you know that the U.S. is the number one consumer of child porn/trafficking?

This isn’t just an overseas thing among impoverished nations, this is happening in your own hometown.

Every single day.

The kids feel abandoned and afraid of their captors – with no hope of a way out.

That should break our hearts.

So, What Can We Do?

Here are some ideas for your consideration:

  • Go see the movie “Sound of Freedom” before it disappears in theaters.
  • Don’t forget to stay in your seats for the Special Message at the end of the film. A QR code is offered where you can “pay it forward” to buy a free ticket for others to go see this movie.
  • Encourage others to go see it . . . friends, church groups, neighbors, etc.
  • Consider donating to Operation Underground Railroad.
  • Talk to your kids about “stranger danger” and have a family safety code word they can use over the phone if they are in danger.
  • From the ourrescue.org website: “It is vital for parents, young adults, teens, and children to know the signs of grooming so they can recognize when someone may have ill intent.”   
  • Enroll your kids in a self-defense class.
  • Talk to your kids about texting personal information with people you and they don’t know. Adult strangers have posed behind fake ID photos as teenagers to get their next victims. You would be shocked at how easy this all is.
  • Have your local Crime Stoppers phone number in your contact list.

The Sound of Freedom Movie

God bless everyone involved with the making of this important film.

Children belong to God and it is our duty to keep them safe.

It is our duty to warn them about this “tsunami of darkness” infecting every city and town in America and all over the world.

Happy New Year 2017

Happy New Year 2017 Everyone!

Happy New Year 2017

I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for the new year.

C’mon 2017!

Have you made any New Years resolutions?

Better yet, how good are you at keeping those resolutions?

New Years Resolutions

I must admit I’m great at making “the list,” but some of those challenges seem to fall by the wayside once the month of January is over.

Where did all those pounds come from?

As if you couldn’t guess, losing ten pounds (or more) is right there at the top of the list. From what I’ve heard, I seem to share that resolution with most of humanity!

Losing weight…and exercising.

Oh yea, exercising.

I remember when I used to do that.

Wink, wink!

My Zumba class took a back seat as my nights were filled with pre-Christmas preparations, baking holiday goodies, choir rehearsals, and Christmas shopping.

Christmas goodiesThen the gifts of food, Christmas treats, and flavored popcorn arrived on our doorstep from wonderful friends and family.

“It’s too much, we have to quit eating all this,” my husband and I said to each other, as we nibbled on chocolate-covered cheesecake pops.

Need I say that we lost that battle?

It’s all good though.

We enjoyed every minute of it. 🙂

Christmas 2016 was a joyous and wonderful celebration of Christ’s birth.

God’s Love Letter

My most important resolution though has nothing to do with dropping a few pounds.

It has entirely to do with reading through God’s entire love letter to man – the Bible.

God's love letter to man

Many churches offer their own Bible reading plans, so you may want to check those out from a local church.

You can also find a reading plan at Back To The Bible.

If you follow the link below, it’s a faster way to their Bible reading challenges. You can choose from several different options:

http://www.backtothebible.org/bible-reading-plans

If you prefer to listen to God’s Word, (which I’m also a fan of) I recommend the Word of Promise Audio Bible.

I downloaded it on my iPad and I’ve been really happy with it.

You’ll hear narrations from Jim Caviezel (from the movie, “The Passion of the Christ”) and Gary Sinise, among others. It’s not a free app, but it’s totally worth it to me.

No matter which reading or audio-listening plan you prefer, I hope you’ll take the Bible reading challenge too.

Blessings to you all.

See you next year!
