Freedom Week 2013

By: Kaleigh Grefseng


27 million. That's how many men, women, and children are enslaved around the world today. That is more than ever before in history. Slavery makes $17,500 anually. It's a 32 billion dollar industry. It happens every single day in our own back yards and many people aren't even aware.

Montevallo students are taking a stand and raising their voice against slaver. Students involved in the campus ministry, Ecclesia, are gearing up to hold the second annual Freedom Week. Ecclesia leader, Jeremy Maxfield says that this is a time for them to stand up and say that this isn't okay.

April 8-12, Ecclesia will be holding different events to raise awareness as well as taking donations. Be on the look out for more information regarding Freedom Week and how you can get involved.
