Since we’ve been working on our ministry World Causes and with the start of our Free Chains campaign two weeks ago, many of you are asking how you can help and get involved. So, I thought I’d throw out some ideas.
1. Prayer.
Sounds cliche, but this is soooooooo important. We need prayer for direction and guidance for our team. We need prayer for provision for the resources to accomplish our vision. We need prayer for volunteers and 3-4 potential employees. We need prayer for Free Chains. For the message to spread and for the rescuing and restoring of those trapped in sex slavery. Finally, prayer for me to lead with all the diligence and passion that I can. Also pray for wisdom.
We really believe in the power of prayer and ask that you join us. We believe that greater things lie before us if we will prayerfully ask.
2. Spread the Word
Please tell your friends, neighbors, family, roommates, small group, youth group, all your online friends and even strangers on the street about Free Chains. There are 2.5 million people held as sex slaves around the world, including in the US and we need to speak for them. You can send them to our site, www.freechains.org. have them join our facebook group and cause.
3. Give Financially
We are looking for monthly supporters to help build a solid foundation for World Causes and the projects we want to do like Free Chains. We need resources to further build creative 1st step solutions to help end poverty, injustice and epidemic diseases.
If you would like to be a monthly supporter or give a one time gift, email me at greg.darley@gmail.com. You may also donate non cash goods like stocks, bonds, land, air miles.
All donations are tax deductible as World Causes is a 501(c)3 organization.
Here are some specific areas where funds will be used:
-Further expanding the Free Chains campaign, including visiting college campuses and churches in the fall
-Writing “Free Chains” small group curriculum to explore what the Bible says about issues of injustice and the gospel.
-Further development of the World Causes Link website. (This site is a collecting point for organizations working in the areas of poverty, injustice and epidemic diseases.)

4. Your church and/or youth group
I am blessed with many friends that are in youth ministry. Many are asking what they can do. If you are interested in getting your group involved here are some ideas:
-Have everyone buy a Free Chain-key chain for $10. Proceeds go to support the 65 girls in our safe house. Take a group picture with the key chains, email it to me and we’ll highlight your group on the site.
-Wear the “all should be free” shirt and do the same group photo.
-Sponsor a specific child in our home. Its about $70/mo. That is only a couple of car washes on a Saturday!
-Have a Free Chains speaker come talk with your group. Learn about social justice, the gospel and how they fit together.
-Host a Q&A time about the issue.
-Find any creative way to raise funds to support the effort.
