Starting with Ash Wednesday there will be a daily Bible verse to read, a meditation on that verse, and a short prayer. On Sundays, as we are taking the approach of those before us, that each Sunday is a celebration of the Lord’s resurrection, we will do a short introduction to the next week’s theme and connect it to lent and human trafficking. The themes for the guide are temptation, darkness, brokenness, sin, repentance, faithfulness, and the cross. We pray that you will find this guide useful in drawing you closer to God and in having a better understanding of how our actions contribute to human trafficking and how we can counter those actions.

FAAST hopes that this guide will bring you closer to Christ during this advent season. We desire that you will have a better understanding of what Christ’s birth meant for each one of us. We hope that you will find encouragement from the stories, that we can suffer through tragedy and hardship, but, through Jesus Christ, we can come become stronger. We hope that you learn more about God’s restoring work for each of us through survivors of trafficking. And we hope that this will serve as a start for discussion for your church and your family.

Freedom Sunday is a day where believers and communities come together in prayer and worship on behalf of those who are trafficked. Join with churches around the globe on one Sunday where the church service is dedicated to fight trafficking and educating their congregations as we lift up our voices to God for those who are the most needy. If your church is unable to join in, feel free to host a Freedom Sunday (or Saturday if that is your Sabbath) any Sunday (or Saturday) of the year using these materials which includes Stop the Traffick's Freedom Sunday packet, Bible Studies, Prayer guides, and posters.
