\"\"<\/a>As many of you know, I have frequently spoken out on the issue of human trafficking. One of my long-term dreams is for Christians to be on the front lines of stopping slavery in our generation.Part of this dream has includes providing a book and DVD to help equip believers and churches to begin anti-trafficking work in their communities. Now this dream is a reality<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

My co-authored book and DVD project with Charles Powell, Not in My Town<\/em><\/a>, is now available. While others have written on this topic, Not in My Town<\/a> <\/em>is the first major book designed to equip churches to start efforts to fight human trafficking in the United States.<\/p>\n

There is also an entire website devoted to this new project at www.notinmytown.net<\/a>. The team at New Hope Publishing<\/a> is behind this issue one hundred percent and has done an excellent job of helping represent the cause. Take a moment to check out my co-author and Mercy Movement<\/a> founder Charles Powell in action in the video trailer for the book below. Looking forward to hearing from many of you as we work together to say “Not in My Town<\/a>” regarding human trafficking in our communities.<\/p>\n
