On February 19, 2023, a luncheon event organized by Global Ministries board member, LaVerne Thorpe, was held at Gender Road Christian Church (GRCC) in Canal Winchester, Ohio, to raise funds to help prevent human trafficking.  Seventy-five percent of the event proceeds were designated for human trafficking initiatives through Global Ministries, and 25% were designated for the Choices shelter in Columbus, Ohio. In addition to GRCC, David\u2019s United Church of Christ (UCC) in Canal Winchester and Woodland Christian Church in Columbus participated in the event.  Participants in the event purchased raffle tickets for the chance to win donated artwork and jewelry.  There was also a table of donated items that attendees could bid on in a silent auction.<\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cI believe the more that people learn and know about the wonderful work Global Ministries is doing, the more people will support Global Ministries, resulting in more lives being saved,\u201d shared LaVerne Thorpe. \u201cMission partners are involved in all types of ministries that are actively addressing the needs of people in a positive way. One ministry partner I visited rescued children from enslavement, and returned them to their families. They assisted the families to develop sustainable ways to support themselves. This is why Global Ministries matters to me, along with our mission partners. We are actually making a positive difference in the lives of others.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many friends of Global Ministries were also present at the event, including Rev. James Semmelroth Darnell. He currently serves as the pastor of David\u2019s United Church of Christ in Canal Winchester, Ohio, but later this spring will transition to serving as the International Recruitment and Training Coordinator for Global Ministries.<\/p>\n\n\n

James shares, \u201cGlobal Ministries matters to me because it fosters and nurtures relationships with partners beyond our own national borders. It reminds me that we are all connected in one Universal Church, the Body of Christ. Global Ministries helps us share the love of Jesus Christ through service and mutuality.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for the event, James added, \u201cI was inspired by the story of LaVerne’s experience in Ghana, and how dedicated and driven she is in providing smokers to families in Ghana. This project empowers families and helps them to avoid the trafficking of their children.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

Global Ministries is grateful for LaVerne\u2019s work and witness, and the shared support of Gender Road Christian Church, David\u2019s UCC, and Woodland Christian Church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
