Next week I, along with some other Christians involved in the abolition movement, am due to meet Stephen Chapman who is the Wales Anti-Human Trafficking Coordinator to inform him what churches and organisations are doing to raise awareness and tackle this issue.

Friday 15th February will be the launch of Redemption Sessions. This is a prayer event that will meet from 8pm - 10pm at Belmont Baptist Church, Tremorfa. Organised by Dai Hankey, Ignite and the #NotOnMyWatch campaign is proud to be associated with it. Sometimes went people are confronted about the reality of trafficking and slavery, they can be overwhelmed. The natural reaction is to ask "what can I do" It is my contention that everyone can tell someone else, everyone can sign the petition and everyone can pray! If you are in or mear Cardiff tomorrow, join us!

For some churches, schools, universities, businesses etc. it might be easier to have a paper petition. If it is helpful to you, please download the petition here

Friday night saw the official launch at Rhiwbina Baptist Church and around 250 people turned up to the event. Dai Hankey spoke powerfully, my friend Trevor King made a powerful short film about when people trafficking became personal to him ( I will post later in the week), the Ignite band lead worship and the heart cry from the event was best summed up in this  Jesus Culture lyric
