At Whipple Creek Church and at FacePlant SkateChurch we decided to do something for this lost and hurting world that would really make a difference. We took the money that came in from the door charge at SkateChurch on Thursdays during the month of December, which ended up being $70.00, and sent it, along with money raised at Whipple Creek Church on Sundays, to World Vision to help end human trafficking as part of the "Advent Conspiracy" idea. The money that we raised will help set a young girl free from the sex slave trade in a foreign country. Check out the Advent Conspiracy video. A lot of churches have used the money that they raised to help bring clean water to many villages around the world, giving people clean water to drink and saving lives. The idea behind the Advent Conspiracy, is to take a portion of the money that would be spent on elaborate gifts for one another, and send it to other places around the world, giving them gifts that have much eternal value, such as the gift of clean water for a village by digging a well, the gift of freedom for a young girl from the sex-slave trade, and gifts like chickens and goats that produce food and milk for those battling everyday with starvation. I am really stoked that we decided to look beyond ourselves at FacePlant Ministries this Christmas season, and help the hurting around the world. And this from a bunch of teenage skaters. Pretty cool.
