On October 14th, a global spotlight will shine on human trafficking. Walk For Freedom exists to turn awareness into action. Reach, Rescue and Restore is the purpose of this walk.

Join Church Alive as they host the A21 Walk For Freedom from 8:00-10:00 on October 14th.
Walk For Freedom is a global awareness event in honor of the millions of men, women, and children who are entrapped by human trafficking.

The walk will begin at 1533 US 49 in Magee. The check in will begin in the parking lot of Western Sizzlin. After checking in, the walk will begin at approximately 8:30 AM. The course will be on the frontage road in front of the Western Sizzlin walking south towards Dairy Queen . The turning point will be at the end of the frontage road. The course will repeat until a 5k has been walked.

Feel free to join the Church Alive team or create your own team to bring awareness to human trafficking. You will have the option to fund raise and purchase walk t-shirts or caps. If you choose not to make any purchases, please dress in all black for the walk. Everyone will have a yellow bandana across their mouths symbolizing the voicelessness of those still entrapped by human trafficking.

A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to interview Dean Scott, Assistant Chief of Police of the City of Pearl. Dean works on a task force that deals with human trafficking. “The use of children for drugs is wide spread. It is not something we are comfortable with or can even imagine…but it happens every day,” explained Dean.. I felt the interview with Dean reinforces even more the importance of “Walk For Freedom.”.

Take time to listen to Dean. We need to make a stand/walk against human trafficking.

Thanks to Church Alive for hosting this state wide event in Magee, MS.
