This Thursday (5/21) we will continue our conversation and planning for Women Are Not Weapons. WANW is our collective response to the tragic use of rape as a weapon of war in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
Most of the evening will be comprised of follow-up and discussion on the areas each of us chose to investigate at our April meeting (Restoration, Education, and Prevention). Come help us flesh out these three avenues of response as we stand in solidarity with the victims of these crimes, as we spread the word to everyone around us, and as we look for means to stand against the oppressors and prevent these actions from continuing.
FASTING FOR MY..MAR
Every “Third Thursday” is our day set aside for fasting and prayer for the people of My..mar and for our friends who are being Christ to many of the poorest of the poor in the slums there.
