Make It Right Prayer Highlight 8/8-12/11

Displays/Video Committee

The Displays and Videos Committee is headed up by Julie Duim from the Eastside Chapter and Angie Nolting from the Kitsap Chapter. Additionally, serving on this committee are Cherri Mann, Jackie Varela and Gina Jones all from Eastside and Holly Pennington from South Puget Sound Chapter. Their responsibility is to invite organizations that support anti-human trafficking to set up booths at the "Make It Right" Event as well as coordinate the Washington Chapter's table. They will also create a slide presentation and select videos for the evening.

They are seeking organizations that provide informational materials, not solicit donations and are different than Women of Vision that provide an educational component that is different than WOV: legislation, local involvement,  or power of purchasing free trade. The maximum number of booths is 15 with these being contacted so far: Not for Sale, Washington Engaged (Rose Gunderson), Shared Hope, Charisma and Esteem ( Tiffany Bloom), Theo’s Chocolate, The body shop, Cafe’ Latro, Piro Vita Coffee, and  Seattle Against Slavery.

There will also be a combined table representing Women of Vision and each Washington Chapter with a brochure for the table from each chapter, as well as a calendar and a map for each chapter. There will be a World Vision Child Sponsorship table with children in higher trafficking areas, distributed at ten children from each chapter. A book table will be set up with 40-50 copies of Half the Sky as well as about 13 previously signed books by Sheryl WuDunn.

Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come to You in the Name of Jesus, praising You that You have given us another day to serve You. Thank you that we live in America and that You have blessed our Nation. Help us to be humble and mindful of those who suffer around the world and help us to be seated in the heavenlies with You Lord, so that w can see things from your perspective and not ours.

Lord, we come to You in faith believing that You hear our prayers asking not for ourselves, but for the beneficiaries of our projects. We ask that You would open doors so that people will attend this event and respond to the educational information from Sheryl WuDunn and Renee Stearns. Move on their hearts to provide funds to further the work of the World Vision staff throughout the world.

Lord, thank you for this wonderful Committee who has worked diligently to solicit organizations with a heart for the victims of modern day slavery. Thank You that You will have the organizations of Your choosing man the booths at this event. Thank You that all of the needed World Vision and Women of Vision collateral will be gathered and displayed in a way that will draw interested viewers to respond  to the call to make a difference and Make It Right for victims. We praise You for Your Spirit of unity that will draw Committee members together, moving in one direction under the leadership of Julie and Angie. Thank you that on the evening of the event that things will flow smoothly with clarity and that tables will be ready by 2:00 PM as the participants arrive to set up their displays. We lift the responsibilities of this Committee and place then at Your feet awaiting the evidence of Your wonderful work through willing vessels.

Lord, the media presented through slides and videos are being created with one purpose and that is to show the attendees the dire needs of victims of human trafficking and slavery. Thank you for our Women of Vision Interns, Heather and Sara who have gathered the best pictures to portray this message. May the pictures touch hearts and generate action from the viewers. We ask that out of the hundreds of videos and pictures available from World Vision, that You would give this Committee along with Annie the wisdom to select the perfect ones that shout the message that we need to MAKE IT RIGHT! We entrust this important aspect of this event into Your Hands and anxiously await the extraordinary results that only You can orchestrate when we do our best and trust You for the rest.

Lord, we are weak and small yet we serve You, the God who takes the simple things of this world to confound the wise. Use us to confound the attendees of this event so that no one leaves the Hyatt the same. We ask that from the displays and from the slides and videos that people's hearts will be pierced by the oppression that women face globally and the opportunities that we have to make it right and make a difference in their lives. We ask that they would sponsor children, give of their time and talents and participate in the Care Give Kit build. We know that without You and Your blessing that this would be impossible. Hence, we humble ourselves daily before Your throne asking and trusting that You are working behind the scenes in ways that we cannot think or ask bringing together an event that will show Your power, majesty and glory.

We love You, Jesus and it is in your Name we pray!! Amen.
