Arts/Social Justice Opportunities/Service

Arts/Music/Justice Tour: Saturday, October 4, 2008, 4:00pm - 11:00pm at Messiah College, Grantham, PA: Critically-acclaimed singer-songwriter Sara Groves has gathered a group of fellow-acclaimed artists and friends Brandon Heath, Derek Webb, Sandra McCracken and author/artist Charlie Peacock, for her ART*MUSIC*JUSTICE tour this fall, which will benefit both the International Justice Mission and Food For the Hungry. The International Justice Mission (www.IJM.org) is a human rights agency that secures justice for victims of slavery, sexual exploitation and other forms of violent oppression. Food for the Hungry (www.FH.org) works in more than 26 developing countries providing disaster and emergency relief, and implementing sustainable development programs to transform communities physically and spiritually. With dates running from Sept 19th through October 26th, the tour is a unique concert opportunity to add to the beauty, seek justice and give God praise. Desiring to further educate the church on God's heart for justice, gain advocates for the oppressed, and show evidence of a God at work in this world. Each evening will bring inspired music and stories of God's people in action and their heroic experiences across the globe. Incredible stories of rescue from the International Justice Mission will be told, while giving audience members the opportunity to be involved in Groves 'adopted' village in Rwanda thru Food for the Hungry. http://www.saragroves.com/concerts/artmusicjusticetour/ and http://www.myspace.com/artmusicjustice
