Raise Your Voice
Awareness is an important first step. But it’s easy to get stuck there… gaining more and more knowledge, getting involved and having a voice, only bring more awareness to this human rights issue. As you do these very important things, challenge yourself to think about how God may be leading you to raise your voice, because your voice is too important to go unheard. Let’s move beyond awareness and into action, because together we can make a difference.
There are many ways to get involved in anti-human trafficking. We will be adding opportunities to get involved because our heart is to activate everyone, enabling them to make a stand for freedom. Find what fits you, and suggest new ways to raise our voices for freedom!

Soles for Souls
Soles4Souls has a simple concept: we procure shoes and get them to those in need.
In the aftermath of the 2004 tsunami that hit Southeast Asia, Wayne Elsey, the Founder and CEO of Soles4Souls® Inc., felt compelled to do something. Like many of us, he did not know what to do. He was at home one night, watching TV and he saw a picture of a single shoe washing up on the beach. That triggered a few calls to some other executives in the footwear industry and the subsequent donation of a quarter of a million shoes to victims in the devastated countries.
A few months later when Katrina hit, Wayne called the same group of friends, and through our continued support, we have sent over a million pairs of shoes down to the gulf coast communities affected by the hurricane. In all honesty, he admits that he did not expect such an immediate and successful turnout. This left him wondering, why not start a non-profit and do this all the time? One year later, Soles4Souls was formally created.
It has been that simple: changing the world one pair at a time.
