God knew what he was talking about when He looked at man and said that it is not good for him to be alone. We all need people in our lives. People in our immediate family circle: spouses, children, parents, siblings. Then our beloved chosen family: our friends. And in our work or hobbies or chosen causes: kindred spirits. In other words: teams.
I am getting more organised and more excited as people are coming alongside me for this years A21 Walk For Freedom, the local campaign that has sprung up around this through the local Mayor's office and the further campaigns spreading through the volunteers to churches and schools and forums.
I am registering to start an A-Team, so I am able to officially represent The A21 Campaign outside of just hosting the Walk For Freedom. With this designation I will also have access to resources such as presentations, material and when necessary any other backup necessary from the nearest A21 satellite office.
I have also through my meetings and starting to spread the word acquired a few volunteers already to spread the load.
It is very exciting to be moving forward with plans and to know that this is a fire that we are spreading and will set the world ablaze until slavery in every form is abolished. This might seem inconceivable in the face of the facts: With over 27 Million trapped in slavery today and another person being trafficked every 30 seconds.
But this is not a single battle we are engaged in, it is a war. And it is the sum of the "small" victories that will cause us to prevail.
Every single person that is educated is another "small" victory.
Every single share of tweets linking to this blog and blogs like it, is another "small" victory.
Every cent donated towards campaigns such as The A21 Campaign is another "small" victory.
Every prayer sent out is another "small" victory.
Every law that is amended or put into place to combat trafficking is another "small" victory.
Every conviction in court of traffickers is another "small" victory.
Every article in the media about human trafficking is another "small" victory.
Every volunteer that signs up to help in any capacity is another "small" victory.
Every person rescued out of slavery is another "small" victory.
Every meeting called to address the issues of slavery is another "small" victory.
Every letter written or care package sent to survivors is another "small" victory.
Help me by doing everything you can today. Help the victims. Help prevent future victims.
Will you join us? Join a team, because together we can make our legacy be freedom.
