NEWS & EVENTS

Jubilee Campaign's October 5th, "Celebrate Freedom" banquet is a success!

A wonderful, willing team of volunteers arrived to the facility hours before the program began. Their support was invaluable! Guests soon began to arrive, perusing displays which detailed the work of Jubilee and its partners with brochures, pictures, books, and reports from staff and volunteers. This gave the guests an introduction into the hardships of persecuted Christians and children at risk and into the ministries responding to these needs. After a tasty meal, the program began. Great fellowship was enhanced by fantastic speakers:

Danny Smith's overview of slavery opened our eyes to the breadth of slavery worldwide.

K.K. Deveraj, while describing the poignant needs of children from Bombay's Red Light district, pointed us to the hope of the Gospel.

Steve Camp's singing was an expression of worship.

Ann Buwalda provided an insightful and comprehensive view into the heartbeat of Jubilee Campaign.

The evening's highlight was Congressman Trent Franks: his sincere dedication to freeing captives was truly an inspiration!

Testimonies from guests:

"Friday night's banquet really showed the reach of the ministry. [The banquet] was surely a blessing for the people at my table."

"The program for the Freedom Banquet was quite 'eye-opening' for me personally."

"We were blessed by the banquet... The guests were touched by the message they heard and we pray they will take action.""The banquet...was very moving and my husband noted that it was quite an enlightenment for him."

A challenge from a guest: "We are convinced this is a critical time for God's people...We pray that Americans will step up as partners."

We are also grateful for the donations and pledges which support ministry partners and their on-going work around the world. Praise the Lord!

In summary, we praise the Lord for His provision and encouragement at the Fall 2007 Celebrate Freedom Banquet.
