As we continue to prepare spiritually, mentally, and physically for our trip the following verse keeps coming to mind:
Ezekiel 16:49 (NASB95)
“Behold, this was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had arrogance, abundant food and careless ease, but she did not help the poor and needy.
Sodom is usually remembered for...well...other sins. But here we clearly see the importance of social justice in God's eyes. How we treat each other matters. In the case of this trip, the poor and the needy are also at risk or have become victims to slavery, a social issue that claims more victims today than it ever did and the height of the North American trade. We will not be quite.
