The Abolition Project

The Abolition Project is a CD of 11 original songs written, recorded, and produced by our Worship Team. It was birthed from a passion to bring freedom and restore hope to victims of Human Trafficking. The perpetrators of slavery keep their slaves in a constant state of fear. Day after day in these situations, many slaves become resigned to their conditions and are therefore unable to envision a life of freedom. The injustice lies not only in the slavery itself and the mistreatment of those slaves, but in the victim's complete state of hopelessness.

We have chosen to partner with the International Justice Mission. This organization not only frees slaves, but investigates and prosecutes slave owners and slave traders; thereby preventing these same individuals from enslaving others. IJM also offers an aftercare program for freed slaves, which assists in the healing and rehabilitation process. Hope can be renewed!

In 1 Corinthians 13:13 we read "…but these three will last forever: faith, hope and love." By purchasing this CD you are using your faith and love to help restore hope!
