Oppression Links and Challenge

Wow! I can not believe how long it has been since I last posted a blog. So, this blog does not have any fancy photos to go along with it, but I wanted to at least try to get it going again.

Being we have been talking about oppression and injustice, I thought I would post a little something for you to think about.

First, I wanted to list some websites that you may want to check out. All of these websites are for great organizations that are seeking to aid with the ending of corruption and injustice.

African Leadership - www.africanleadership.org
Compassion International - www.compassion.com
International Justice Mission - www.ijm.org
Invisible Children - www.invisiblechildren.com
One - www.one.org
World Vision - www.worldvision.org

Next, I want to pose a challenge for you this week:
Interview someone who fights injustice in law enforcement, a community organization, or has a ministry to oppressed people. Find someone in your community or get the e-mail address of someone and conduct an internet interview.

Find out:
- How they got started.
- What their challenges are.
- What keeps them going when times are hard.

Bring your interview to Bible study next week.

Seen you soon!

- Peter
