On Saturday, May 1, 2010, with family and friends, we will be participating in a 5K RUN/WALK to help support the fight against human trafficking. For those of you who live in the area, we invite you to join us in this event.

It is an issue that we are very saddened about and passionate to change.  Jesus said, "In as much as you have done it unto one of the least of these, my brethren, you have done it unto Me." The world sees these lives as worthless, but we know God has a purpose for each one of them. Together we can make a difference and "free them" to fulfill their true purpose in this life.

This event is put on by World Concern; a Seattle based non-profit organization. World Concern is a charter member of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA) and has a Charity Navigator rating of four stars. Ninety-four cents out of every dollar raised goes directly to the cause.   

Please consider joining us in this fight by donating through this website.  Or feel free to give a cash donation to one of our team members (Checks should be made out to "Crista Ministries - World Concern".  Our April 17th fundraising event at Teezer's Cookies on Orcas Island raised $1200.  We appreciate all of the community members, friends, and family who helped make this event a success!

We thank you for your help in making a difference in the lives of many who have been victims of human trafficking as well as those that will be protected from it in the future.

Heather, Abe and Ryan and TEAM ORCAS
