Vote for IJM

A few days ago, the Carol Wilson Update blog informed readers about an opportunity at rezoom.com. The site is holding an election for America’s most inspiring charity. The winning charity will receive an award of $100,000.

Between now and Aug. 10, you can go to the rezoom site and vote once each day for the charity you think is the most inspiring. There are some good ones among the 21 finalists, but if you would like to help fight slavery, please consider voting for the International Justice Mission. All you need to do is register with a username and password, then go and vote once each day through Aug. 10.

Thanks for this. I'm glad to know about Makeway, and also about Hunter's book Be the Change. I'll check it out. I loved the Makeway site, and already referred it to others. A guy at Watershed is very interested in justice, and I referred him to your site. And now, some cool words I found in the Bible:
"They are always searching for some helpless victim. Like lions, they crouch silently, waiting to pounce on the helpless. Like hunters, they capture their victims and drag them away in nets. The helpless are overwhelmed and collapse, they fall before the strength of the wicked. The wicked say to themselves, 'God isn’t watching. He will never notice!' Arise, O Lord!" Psalm 10:8-12 NLT

“You hear, O Lord, the desire of the afflicted; you encourage them, and you listen to their cry, defending the fatherless and the oppressed, in order that man, who is of the earth, may terrify no more.” Psalm 10:17,18 NIV
