What does it look like to “be the living proof of a loving God” (www.vintagegrace.org) in our community? We know the needs are HUGE both locally and globally and it can overwhelm us to do good because we think our little effort won’t affect the need. But it does. Here are 3 things that are making a difference both locally and globally.

Check out 3 Strands Global and Break Free (formerly Run For Courage).   Saturday September 26, 2015, 3 Strands Global and Break Free are hosting the Break Free Run in Folsom working together to stop human trafficking both locally and globally. Their mission goal is to empower others to join them for a world free from human trafficking. To join their efforts you can log on to: http://www.3strandsglobal.com/ to volunteer, to run, or to donate!

That’s being the living proof of a loving God!

Check out the Fair Trade Event hosted by Vintage Grace Church one week after the Break Free Run: Sunday October 4, 2015 from 4-7 PM at Marina Middle School.
Shop, eat from the food trucks and help fair trade vendors meet their mission goals through your purchases! We have over 10 fair trade vendors so there is something for everyone!
3 Strands/Break Free will show their CNN documentary The Freedom Project to raise awareness about human trafficking with a live panel discussion that will encourage everyone that they too can do something!
Mark your calendars now and visit our booth at the Break Free run and sign up for a chance to win shopping $ for the fair trade event! Contact [email protected] for more information!

These are just 3 things that have my attention! Find what you are passionate about and seek out where it is God would have you “be the living proof of a loving God”. Ask God, what are you inviting me into today?
YES the need is great, and can feel overwhelming. But it is doable! And worth it!!

My hope and prayer is that you will and do something!
