Interview between Doug Fields and Zach Hunter
DOUG: What is an abolitionist?
ZACH: -"Anyone who fights against slavery or frees slaves"
DOUG: How do people become slaves?
ZACH: -Medical debt, kidnapping/deceit, trickery
DOUG: What are you doing about it?
ZACH: -Isaiah 1:17-Taking it seriously
-Seek justice and do something
-Loose Change to Loosen Chains
Passion is something Satan doesn't want us to experience.
Ex.: Electronics are like an anasthetic that makes us apathetic
We're not willing to spend time with God
DOUG: Has seeking justice in the slavery world strengthened your relationship with God?
ZACH: -Yes, but you can't make God love you more or less because of what you do for Him, or what you DON'T do. He loves you just the same.
God is our friend, Jesus is our brother
God loves, Jesus saves
We need to extend our circle of compassion, in an effort to make it more like God's circle of compassion (which is much bigger)
Womb is compassion
(Give a part of ourselves so that others can live)
DOUG: How does the money you raise actually help?
ZACH: -Fund-raising- goes to organizations that pay for lawyers, debt money, law enforcement
Did you feel God physically say YOU are supposed to free the slaves?
-Slow build, then BOOM
-Not just one incident
DOUG: How do you get your organization to appeal to non-Christians?
ZACH: -Still talks about God, but doesn't shove it down people's throats
1st Timothy 4:12
And then it all ended with a bang. :-)
