Our Purpose post this week is full of great organizations and we're so excited to share this opportunity to be a part of an awesome cause! Faithquest Missions and Operation Mobilisation are both involved in the Freedom Climb: 42 women on an ascent to the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro in order to raise awareness and funds for women caught in the deadly sex trafficking industry. The tallest mountain in Africa, Kilimanjaro is 20,000 feet at it's summit, Uhuru Peak. Uhuru is Swahili for 'freedom' (hence the name Freedom Climb), and as the word spreads, the climb these women boldly make will advocate for the freedom of millions of enslaved women and children in 'at risk' areas.
These women have a HUGE vision: raise $400,000 to fund projects that combat slavery through prevention, rescue and development for 10,000 women and children. However, we think this goal will definitely be achieved as more and more people find out about and join their wonderful cause. We encourage you to take part in The Freedom Climb by supporting the team and by learning more about the organizations involved.

Right on! Thanks Suz and Jenn for standing with the this vision! The defenseless women and children that are right this minute being held as slaves need us all to rise up and fight for them. These women who have taken on leading this Freedom Climb campaign to raise awareness, prayer, and financial support for the battle need us to stand up and fight with them. How can we not???? What kind of people are we if we just go on with our lives as if these innocent women and children are not enslaved in a daily hell, when we know that we can do something????
