I was just reading this article on getting started in the bartering world. Although it doesn’t completely explore the bartering process, I think it gives a good little taste of some of the reasons one would barter.
Know the problem…
…Create a solution.
My wife and I were blessed to be able to learn about the very real and modern day human trafficking industry recently after popping over to one of our best friends churches to participate in a grassroots effort to do something to support the rescued victims. We helped make blankets/quilts with the sanskrit word meaning “Beloved” sewn onto them. I was speechless when I began to listen to and read the stories. And for those who know me know that “speechless” is not usually a word in my vocabulary.
Generating over an estimated 31+ billion dollars per year, according to the videos I saw, this crime against humanity has grown in leaps and bounds. Now I don’t claim to be a reporter or journalist, but I am concerned and have been moved by what I’ve learned to create this channel to flesh out the issues and more importantly, to uncover the much needed solutions to make positive, transformative inroads and impacts on this industry, the souls it’s enslaved and its supporters.
In the coming weeks, months and beyond, I’ll be interviewing the individuals and organizations, like Chabdai and Cindy Rethmeier, responsible for spearheading, in their areas, the fight to put an end to human trafficking, slavery, prostitution, exploitation and the like.
My hope is that you will tune in, send others to tune in and get involved in whatever life supporting way you’re able to, big or small.
Join HFiNews.com in supporting those who God has given a heart and calling to prevent more people from falling victim to these crimes, rescue those who are already in that system and bring awareness and most importantly… viable SOLUTIONS now, to the masses.
God bless.
