All six InterVarsity fellowships at the University of Texas – Austin came together to put on Not for Sale, an outreach event to raise awareness about human trafficking and God’s heart to see it eradicated. During the week leading up to the event, InterVarsity students wore t-shirts and created quite a buzz on campus. 400 students attended our event, which began with interactive displays highlighting different facets of human trafficking. The Greek display focused on the issue of sweat shop labor around the globe. We highlighted which companies still use sweat shop labor and those that do not. A speaker from International Justice Mission shared some stories of people set free from slavery and we concluded the night with a call for real change in the world and in individual lives. 3 students decided to make that change and follow Jesus and many more have been undeniably moved to raise awareness about this issue.
