Love146 is an international human rights organization working to end child trafficking and exploitation through survivor care and prevention. The trafficking and exploitation of children is one of the darkest stories and most severe human rights abuses imaginable. But at Love146, the hope of ending it is a reality. Love146 is helping grow the movement to end child trafficking while providing effective, thoughtful solutions. They believe in the power of love and its ability to effect sustainable change. Love is the foundation of our motivation.

*Although Love146 is not a faith-based organization, its founders were inspired by the Christian faith to create a system to end child and sex trafficking. Wasted Evangelism in Action supports partnerships that seek justice--and in this case, justice for the world's vulnerable children. Partnering, strategically, outside the Christian circle is a Wasted Evangelism input (resource/activity). Content is adapted from Love146 website.

What if Christians truly lived out the message of Jesus and transformed their communities through their love and the practice of authentic justice?

This idea was put into action by Ken Wytsma (Antioch Church, Bend) and Stephan Bauman (World Relief), who together, founded and facilitated the first The Justice Conference in 2010. Since it’s birth, momentum continues to build and the vision for The Justice Conference continues to reach thousands of people around the world, connecting a generation of men and women around a shared concern for the vulnerable and oppressed. They have created space in the life of the church and in our busy calendars for God’s church to help find practical ways to involve people in issues of justice—both in their day-to-day lives at home and around the world—by providing first rate exhibitors, literature (at the Conference Bookstore), pre-conference sessions and spotlight organizations.

The 2016 Justice Conference is scheduled for June 3-4 in Chicago. Consider joining them >>

Living Bread Ministries cares about “justice, so issues like hunger, education, and human trafficking” are important priorities for them. As a result, this organization intentionally works toward “comprehensive church planting among the global poor.” They believe empowering local communities in the midst of planting churches is “the best way to impact most social issues for the long term.” See a great example in their work in Thailand.
