Human trafficking has become a global epidemic. But how is the church to respond? What can people do to actually make a difference? If you’re attending the EFCA One conference, don’t miss this valuable opportunity July 1 from 9:00am – 3:00pm. Listen to a team of five presenters with experience across the globe and join in discussion addressing the crucial question – where do we go from here? Don’t miss your chance to make an impact on the issue of human trafficking locally and globally. To register, send an email to JusticeInitiatives@efca.org with your name and the name and city of your church.

A volunteer shared recently how God uses people working in teams. “He sends just the right person on a team to connect perfectly with the homeowner. It is great to see a homeowner go from overwhelmed to energized. It is even more exciting to see a homeowner find forgiveness and new life in Christ.”

You can be an answer to someone’s prayers by sending a team to work in Staten Island, NY. Teams will be hosted for full or half weeks so get a short-term team together and get your application in now.

EFCA Today magazine is looking for a few EFCA leaders to write reviews on the book One Bible, Many Versions: Are All Translations Created Equal? by Dave Brunn. The review will be due on or before August 9.

For each issue, we’ll issue a similar “all-call” for reviews on a selected book. And we pay for your review, if it’s one we choose to print!

If you’d be interested in reading and reviewing this book — or recommending others for future issues — please contact the book-review coordinator at pastormatt@lansefree.org for more details on the assignment.
