Keep "Jamming the Traffick" !!

So Traffick Jam has ended for 2011... and I am blown away!  God showed up in a huge way tonight, and I am so thankful!  A huge thanks to all the people who helped make this event a reality!  Some great friends were made and I think a huge change was made in all the people who attended.

A special thanks to Back Porch Orchestra who are totally awesome and graciously supported us and Traffick Jam.  Please check them out, and if you're free next friday check them out for their cd release party at the Fat Frogg in Elon, NC

Most importantly, let's all keep this ball rolling and continue to fight human trafficking.  I've heard that at least 3 college campuses are hoping to host similar events, so keep a look out for more ways to raise awareness and put an end to this atrocity!

If you have questions or comments please feel free to contact us nsharpe@guilfordcollegeumc.org or bcarson@guilfordcollegeumc.org

Traffick Jam - January 28,2011

An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity. 
Martin Luther King, Jr. 

We hope you will continue Dr. King's efforts in fighting the injustices of the world.  Please come out and join us in raising awareness about modern day slavery, as well as joining other's who are passionate about bringing hope to the captives and "rising above our individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity."  Please don't hesitate to contact us at nsharpe@guilfordcollegeumc.org or carsonbg@guilford.edu if you have any questions or would like to volunteer or help us spread the word about this event!

Traffic Jam 1/28/11

There are more slaves in the world today (27 million) than at any other point in history. You can help us bring an end to modern-day slavery through Traffic Jam, an event to raise awareness about human trafficking. Traffic Jam is taking place at the Guilford College Community Center on Friday, January 28 from 7:30-10-30. The event will feature booths from local agencies fighting human trafficking, live music, speakers who are working in the field, and a special screening of the "Candy Shop." For more information or to learn how you can get involved, keep an eye on The Porch Blog or contact Ben (carsonbg@guilford.edu) or Neal (nsharpe@guilfordcollegeumc.org).
