WSU Students Fight Slavery

A few weeks ago a hand full of our wonderful leaders put together a week long campaign raising money to help fight human slavery,  and it was AMAZING! 

They spent the week going to sporting events and setting up booths around campus to collect peoples loose change, and in only a week they raised over $1,000!  Several rooms were set up at the end of the week with stations showing statistics and personal stories of those affected by slavery. There were even a few students who spent the night painting with the same theme.  At the end of the night the students were challenged to double the amount raised thus far, and in only 20 minutes they have over $1,200 more!

It is amazing to see the love of Christ modeled through the students, both in the set up of this week, and the generous giving of students who often comment on how they have very little money.
