27 Million


I just turned 25 recently, and I hate to admit it, but I am growing bald. :( I wanted to spend my birthday in an awesome manner and so I sat at home with mum and dad and ate all day. How cool is that. I guess that is a bit lame, but I went out on Sunday to 4 services, and I enjoyed them all. This post is not about my baldness, nor about my old age, nor about the trip to four churches. This is about something more and as I have always tried to do so, i am going a bit geek-like in this post. The last church I visited was Hillsongs, London and there I came across this shocking news. (Sorry guys, this may hurt a bit).

There are 27 Million people bound by slavery Today. 






THIS IS LESSER THAN THE POPULATION IN THE WHOLE OF AUSTRALIA! If you are like What? ... are you Joking? , I say, no my friend, this is the truth. Slaves ?? Slave to the white man?? No, slave to the rich man! Slave to the pimp ! Slave to slave sellers and buyers! I know this may be off your head, but this is the truth. I guess you would be wondering how come with all the justice and UN services going around this goes unnoticed? Well, for a fact, some one noticed it, and other fact, most of us ignore this.

Back when I lived in Dubai, at Al Baraha we used to find a number of Russian , east European and Chinese girls dressed in the most provocative manner, prostituting in the streets. We assumed that they were poor and they are here (in Dubai) to gain money by selling themselves, but the hard truth was when a news paper revealed this matter. [She was a sex - slaveShe was a sex - slave ]. How does this work? Well, girls are promised secretary, massage - clinic jobs, waiter's job e.t.c. and brought to a country, where their life is ripped off, passports stolen, threatened, abused physically, and sold to people as slaves. Their tears are hidden in the veil of shame they bear and the fear of life they love. ARE WE BLIND?

In some countries, when people take huge loans from someone, they work for the person who they or their ancestors took loan from and live even up to 3 or four generation paying a trivial amount as 20000 INR (~400 USD or ~260 GBP or ~300Euro). I know that you may call this work or paying it off slowly, but the truth is that 2 generations working off that amount is sufficient to cover 10 times the amount. The person bound to this kind are beaten, poorly paid and hurt in all sorts of manner, both physical and emotional.

Now, the danger lies that men, women and children are sold from all counties, and in all countries.

What can i do about these 27 Million ?

Well spread awareness. [links are in the bracket]

The Nativity - by Gari Melchers

This could be my first ever critique of art that I have ever written and that is because it is only recently art has captured my interest as much as this work. This write up is made both in English and German as I want to practice my German.  'The Nativity' by Gari Melchers.  I am not an art expert and my critique is from a layman's point of view, but bear with me. I have tried reading some information about the art and the culture behind it and I have my two favourite blog posts about the same work and yes,  I have shamelessly copied some of their thoughts. Woebegone but Hopeful and other is by Lisa VO . Julius Garibaldi Melchers (August 11, 1860 – November 30, 1932) was an American artist. He was one of the leading American proponents of naturalism. He won a 1932 Gold medal from the American Academy of Arts and Letters.[1] - Wikipedia The Nativity is painted during the peak of realism movement - in a gritty and less idealised ma...

God of Hope | Romans 15:13 | Sermon Notes | Podcast and YouTube Video

Sermon Notes: Bible Verse: Romans 15:13 Romans  Written by Paul / Saul Made up of Jewish and Non Jewish Claudius forced Jews to leave Rome and after 5 years they returned and there was a new church in the old place - one that was predominantly Non Jewish and therefore much of Romans is written with the slight aim to understand how Gentiles fit into the Jewish Messiah. This means that Gentiles are part of  Abraham family and how they were asked to unify in Love Now we come to the chapter 15. Saying that in this process of loving others, we often come across the failure of others. Lets go to the verse May the God of Hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope. May the God of Hope God who gives us Hope Hope from what? Hope in what? He fills us Joy and Peace in our believing Through Holy Spirit Suffering produces endurance (Romans 5:3-5) endurance character character hope How come? - Because God's love has been ...
