Families Set Free Live

Last November, we began an important collaboration with a dedicated non-profit organization known as Families Set Free. This meaningful partnership inspired and encouraged members of Christ Community to generously donate and assist Christian families who are unfortunately trapped in debt slavery within Pakistan's brick kilns. Through the collective efforts of our congregation, we successfully raised over $87,000, which we utilized to help free these families, assist them in starting sustainable businesses, provide safe housing, medical care and counseling services, and enroll their children in educational programs.

Many of these families have endured the pain of enslavement for generations, often due to circumstances where their parents or grandparents borrowed money for necessary medical care. They work tirelessly each day to produce bricks but find themselves unable to pay off their debts, which can be as modest as $500 for an entire family. Families Set Free partners with churches in a united effort to gather the necessary funds to release and support these families as they work towards reintegration into their communities in Pakistan. Our congregation continues to reflect on the impact of this initiative and the lives we are helping to transform.

If you missed the live Zoom event, we have links to recordings of the important rescues. Each recording lasts about an hour and a half, showing how the Families Set Free team helps families, discusses their living situations, and presents a check to the kiln owner to buy their freedom. It's a revealing experience worth watching.
