Ohio State University Price of Life
InterVarsity Christian Fellowship at Ohio State University is calling attention to a lesser-known evil of this day. The NOT FOR SALE Campaign estimates there are over 27 million people enslaved worldwide, and approximately 200,000 right here in the United States. NOT FOR SALE is a global partner with InterVarsity at OSU as they plan the upcoming outreach including campus-wide events with dozens of groups participating.

Freedom Sunday
You may also consider bringing your congregation into the modern Abolitionist movement. On February 21, 2010, churches around the world will be praying for those held captive in honor of the first ever Freedom Sunday.
Join in spirit, action and solidarity by participating in Freedom Sunday. Preach on modern-day slavery, sing redemptive songs, take action in your own backyard, and stand with the international movement to free the captives. With just a click, you can register your congregation and receive the downloads and resources you need to involve your faith community.

Faith and Learning
As you seek to integrate your faith and scholarship, consider the impact of this movement on your campus and the opportunity to shine Christ’s light on this dark topic. Is there a local faculty member in your community who could speak to your community to make a difference? Perhaps you are the catalyst to bring together students of Sociology, Criminal Justice, Economics, and many other areas of study which are factors in this problem. Your concern for human trafficking can be a tool to share your faith with others.
We hope the events of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship at Ohio State University inspire you to reach out as well.
