Drew & Am With IJM In Florida: Our Trip Thus Far

* Please view the pictures at bottom of post *

We have been in Florida for a little more then 2 weeks and have been so encouraged to see many people's interest in IJM's work. For those of you who are not too familiar yet with who International Justice Mission (IJM) is and what they do, we strongly encourage you to visit the IJM page on our blog which you can by clicking this: IJM/Hutcheson Headline  or going straight to IJM's website by clicking this: IJM Homepage

In short:

IJM is a Christian human rights agency that brings rescue to victims of slavery, sexual exploitation and other forms of violent oppression.

Our time in Florida thus far has been comprised of meeting with people and differing speaking engagements to advocate God's call to the Church to live out biblical justice as seen in scripture. At the same time, we have been raising financial support and prayer support.

We will be leaving to return to Michigan between the 15-17 of November.

With a couple of weeks left before we return to Michigan, we hope these upcoming days will be full of encouragement and people will want come to see the pervasive evils in our communities and around the world and will in turn, be moved to take action and seek justice with us.
