#NotOnMyWatch - The Campaign begins
11/02/2013
A week ago we hosted a screening of the film "Nefarious - Merchant of Souls". The majority of the marketing was done through social media and we were delighted when over 80 people turned up at Woodies to watch the movie. We were setting the seen for an issue that God has been burning into our hearts.
In this blog, I will highlight some of the things that happened in the last week and it maybe that I will return to a number of thein more detail.
A number of weeks ago, we were succesful in lodging an online petition with the Welsh Assembley Government. It says
"We call upon the National Assembly for Wales to urge the Welsh Government to do all within its power to make Wales free from the illegal activity of people trafficking and slavery."
Sign the Petition HERE As I write this post, we are a few signatures short of 500. This may not seem many BUT it is just the beginning and is already the 2nd biggest petition on the hosting site! My request is that you not only sign it but you use all your influence to get others to sign it!
We launched to petition on twitter on Friday morning. We were delighted to get retweets by Cery Matthews, Paul Daniels, The Rend Collective, John Archer, Hear say's Noel Sullivan, Swansea City's mascot "Cyril the Swan" and many others.
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
There's an army rising up
There's an army rising up
There's an army rising up
To Break every chain
Break every chain
Break every chain
To Break every chain
Break every chain
Break every chain
There is power in the name of Jesus
There is power in the name of Jesus
There is power in the name of Jesus
To Break every chain
Break every chain
Break every chain
We have launched a website which can be accessed www.notonmywatch.mobi This has lots of information, campaign plans and schools lessons.
We have a video and a single to come and so much more. The outrage and blight on our world that is slavery and human trafficking MUST come to an end. Do your bit. Sign the petition here
