Environmental Stewardship & More

I've been participating at the RE:Form Now Conference in Boise a portion of this week. Tons of deep information on environmental stewardship, world crisis and human justice.

There was a 20 minute documentary launched on human trafficking in the U.S. at this conference, and you can link to it from this post. The video defintely opened my eyes and heart to this problem. I knew that this happened abroad, but didn't realize it was in my own backyard, too.

I realize that this is not a happy subject, but something that needed more attention. A healthy home and healthy planet pertains to the emotional/moral issues, as well as the physical ones.

RE:FORM Conference This Week

I'm very pleased that this week has rolled around! A RE:FORM Conference will be on the 24th thru 26th of September, at The Vineyard Church in Boise. I will be having an exhibit of my products there, but more importantly, there is going to be 3 days of education on Human Justice, World Crisis, & Environmental Stewardship.

There's a schedule of events listed below, but you can also go the RE:FORM website for more information. Hope to see everyone there!
