A Practical Way to Fight Child Rape for Profit

The love that God calls us to takes time, money, involvement. It takes thought and effort. This kind of love is sincere.... REAL. Real beyond pretense.

Romans 12:9-13 says that "Love must be SINCERE." We must "hate what is evil; cling to what is good." We are called to "be devoted to one another in brotherly love," and to "honor one another above yourselves." In addition, we are to do this by "never be lacking in zeal, but spiritual fervor serving the Lord," and to always be "joyful in hope, patient in affliction, and faithful in prayer." The last verse of this passage says that we are to "share with God's people who are in need," and to very simply, "Practice hospitality."

I know of a practical way that you can show sincere love. It is a way that you can join with others in the fight against evil, be devoted to a good cause showing brotherly/sisterly love, and to share with God's people who are in need!!

And guess what, it's completely easy and fun!

Our church is hosting comedian Carlos Oscar to come out for a night of good fun clean comedy. Scott and I saw him last year, and if you go, I can guarantee you some good laughs! We laughed until our sides hurt. This guy is AWESOME. You don't want to miss this.

And here's the best part. Your ticket cost goes directly to help benefit rescued girls who have been kidnapped and raped for profit in PHOENIX, ARIZONA.

Yes, this sort of thing happens in Phoenix. There are have been AT LEAST 50 identified child prostitutes in Phoenix who are abused, raped, and sold to numerous men daily so their "owner" can make money off of them. The average age of a child prostitute IN PHOENIX is 13. These girls are sold to between 100-1,500 men a year. Disgusting.

Anyway, your ticket sale money will go directly to Branded (an organization completely dedicated to helping to stop child rape for profit) and to the Streetlight safe house project. Currently, there is no place in Arizona for girls under 18 to escape to to get away from the sexual exploitation of their abductors. Streetlight is a faith-based shelter opening this summer that will care for and help rescue teens from this horrible sex trade. Many girls that are currently picked up police are sent to jail as there is nowhere else to put them. Streetlight is now going to be another option for them; a safe place to recover and re-enter society when they are ready to live a healthy normal life.

Come help support this cause. This has got to be the EASIEST way ever to support a cause.

There are 3 performances: May 7th at 7pm, and May 8th at 5 and 8pm.


Tickets are $15 per person.
