A story of justice.

Over the last few months people have been asking us more and more for updates on the progress of Project Exodus. For those who don't know, Project Exodus is still a relative "baby" organization and has really only been fully public since about September of 2009. That being said, the amount of growth and development that has happened in our organization since then has been incredible.

Like so many organizations, we are extremely proud of all of the developments that happen at Project Exodus. Leading this organization has been a truly amazing experience and it has been a pleasure to see God working in everything we do. Every week our organization is faced with new challenges and opportunities, the likes of which continue to form and mold us. It was thus a no brainer to start a blog plotting the development of Project Exodus.

The mission of this blog is simple: to share the journey of seeking justice with other like minded individuals. We hope to hold little back from this blog, sharing the great successes of our organization as well as the challenges we face. We want this blog to be a real, honest reflection of our organization and we hope that by people reading it, they might find hope and inspiration in their fight against human trafficking.

The fight that we face is one of epic proportions. Human trafficking is a tremendous crime, the roots of which spread across every part of society. We have a lot riding against us. At the same time though, we have a hope that cannot be destroyed. Being a Christian organization, we do everything through Christ, who strengthens us and guides us on our way. The best part is, we already have victory! Christ's death and resurrection proclaimed victory over the darkness and enabled us to take an active role in fight against injustice.

You might ask, "If we already have victory, why are we fighting?". The answer is simple. When the Allies landed in Normandy in WWII, Hitler knew the war was over. Victory was achieved. However it still took a year of intense fighting before Germany officially surrendered. For us, Christ's death and resurrection was D-Day. Victory is ours! However we still have a battle to fight till we have a total surrender of evil.

Make no mistake...this fight will be hard. There will be many casualties and at times it may seem like we are losing. But have peace! For we have already overcome! (Rev 12:11).

Over the coming days, weeks, months and years, we hope that you continue to join Project Exodus in our pursuit of justice. Together we can strengthen and encourage one another, reminding each other of the hope we have and the reason why we fight. And perhaps in our lifetime, we will one day be able to all join together and remember that there used to be a crime called human trafficking, but together through Christ we overcame.

Veritas et Aequitas,

Mike Masten
