Aussie men playing ping pong to fight sex slavery

27 million people in the world are slaves with the profits from trafficking victims being upwards of $31.3 billion. 2 million children are exploited in prostitution and pornography every year..

  • A homeless women, children's deaths and a song for nobody

    \'What is my worth?\' a women asked me recently. \'I\'m unemployable. I\'m homeless. I have no friends\', she told me with tears in her eyes.

  • Failing at being a Christian!

    As a postgrad student, I am constantly reading. That is my life now! I read about neoliberalism, and then new-managerialism, before moving onto the very stimulating topic of participatory practices before delving into theoretical approaches on sustainability practices.

  • An honest letter to parents from a youth pastor

    Hey parents

  • A dad's perspective on… music!

    I have never agreed with the Wiggles. I made a pact with myself at the age of 15 while sitting in a van surrounded with wiggling toddlers and children.

  • Does New Zealand's justice system go far enough?

    A makeshift cell is the last place you would expect to find one of New Zealand\'s spiritual leaders. Last year the Anglican Bishop of Wellington, Justin Duckworth, spent the best part of a week living in a small, fenced-in chamber outside the local Cathedral to pray for criminals and their victims.

  • You can't be happy without Jesus, right?

    Christians love to approach evangelism from the angle of the \"God-shaped whole\", namely that each of us has a God-shaped whole in our hearts that nothing else will fill. And until we find our personal relationship with Jesus, we will walk around feeling the gaping emptiness of this whole.

  • Dabbs wows with humour, sax and a life-changing message

    Larger than life character and Christian evangelist Reggie Dabbs wowed my Sunshine Coast school today with an incredible mix of humour, rockin\' soprano sax that had the middle and senior school jumping in their seats and the teachers grooving at the back (Pharrell William\'s song \"Happy\" never sounded so good!!), and a message that challenged and changed lives.

  • The window

    An old man gazes out of his window. One of those set in, gloomy days, black all morning, but now a crack in the suffocated sky throws a glimmering ray his way and it reflects on the windowpane through which he stares down, watching.

  • Richmond Tigers have had their minds set since June!

    What a ripper of a game we witnessed on Saturday night at the ANZ Stadium! A season defining match for the Tigers, up against Sydney, the premiership favourites. Richmond brought out their claws and fought with all they had, knowing a victory would put them through to the finals!

  • Time. Is. Your. Friend.

    Time is the enemy you want to start fighting early – well at least it is according to advertising companies selling skin products. The wrinkles will only be a matter of time, and soon the beauty of our youth will fade away and we will look and become middle-aged.

  • Are children really participating in church?

    We do a lot of things at church that can be seen as difficult to understand. I have previously written on the language we use, and purposefully being inclusive in our language, so not only to be clearer for children to understand, but also to be clearer for the adults to understand.
