News from The Salvation Army's World Youth Conference

Dear Friends:

Here are two items that I believe you'll find of special interest. First, below you'll find a brief report on Commissioner Helen Clifton's calling on women within The Salvation to join the fight again human trafficking. It's wonderful to have such support for anti-trafficking from the highest levels of Salvation Army leadership.

Additionally, I'm providing a link to The Salvation Army's World Youth Conference where you'll find an exciting message from General Shaw Clifton about God's call to The Salvation Army. To view the video:

Young Salvationists Hear Call to Tackle Human Trafficking

Christian Today reports that The Salvation Army is calling on women within its ranks to join the fight against human trafficking. Commissioner Helen Clifton delivered a "wake up call" to the youths at The Salvation Army's World Youth Convention in Stockholm, Sweden, on Saturday. "We need to be wiser and better trained, but without losing the deep passion for those who have lost their innocence and succumbed to what is a sad and lonely life," said Clifton. "The work involves prevention, prosecution, protection and prayer." Clifton spoke to about 1,000 young women at the event. Commissioner Christine MacMillan, the director of The Salvation Army's International Social Justice Commission (ISJC), addressed the convention via DVD. "Our journey of faith needs to be disturbed by all these injustices in the world. If it isn't then our hearts are either numb or hardened and we need God to renew our sensitivity," she said.
