Wow what a weekend! The much anticipated, and worked for, conference in Hamburg is over. It was an awesome weekend full of art, information and inspiration.
The venue was a large auditorium on the doorstop of Hamburg's red-light district; the location was a good reminder that what we are fighting does not just exist in distant countries, but in the neighbour-hoods we live and work in. Over the course of a few days, we heard from many international speakers fighting the issue of human trafficking. David Batstone, President of the Not For Sale Campaign, spoke about his personal journey to fight this evil. Luba, from YWAM Hamburg, spoke on her work with the victims of sex trafficking. The large Marriage of the Arts DTS from Herrnhut was in attendence and bought provocative and important art pieces to display. The students really affected everyone with their communication of this important issue through their individual creative gifts. Josh Langer flew over from Tyler Texas to lead worship with a few local staff and brought the roof down.
Pick a Pocket members made up the bulk of the organizational and operational staff for this conference and people remarked more than once how well we all functioned together! I had the priviledge of working in speaker care and stage management. This was a huge amount of work, but it was a such a blessing to be able to talk to, and serve, all the amazing speakers.
More soon!
