Ephesus relies on a committed group of people within its community to make it's unique vision a reality.
When Hurricane Katrina hit this country, we saw for the first time what a displaced American looks like. Now we're asking you to imagine for 24 hours what it's like for the millions of people in Northern Uganda who have been displaced for more than ten years.
This year, Displace Me is the nationwide event giving Americans the chance to respond. Displace Me begins on April 28th around noon and will end the morning of the 29th. This overnight gathering will send a bold statement to the US government that Americans care about ending the suffering of millions living in Uganda's displaced camps. We are demanding our government's support of the peace talks, which will allow the Acholi people to go back to their land and the abducted children to be returned home.
Ephesus will be there, in Washington D.C to be a part of the event. Details on meeting times and transportation are still being worked out, so please be patient while we finalize things. In the meantime, visit www.invisiblechildren.com/theMovement/displaceMe for more information on the event and to personally signup as a participant.
Every three seconds, someone dies from extreme poverty. We can beat poverty, but everyone's voice is necessary to send the message to world leaders and policy makers. Visit www.one.org to sign the one declaration, and become a part of this radical movement to fight AIDS, starvation, and extreme poverty. We're not asking for your money. We're asking for your voice.
