Equipping Ministries Fellowship
Equipping Ministries to Pursue Justice in Their Communities
What is the Equipping Ministries Fellowship?
The Equipping Ministries Fellowship is a two year learning cohort that brings together believers who know that the Body of Christ can take practical steps to do justice and be light in their communities. The Equipping Ministries Fellowship helps participating ministry leaders discover how to use the tools they already have and gain key knowledge that increases their impact in their families, congregations, and communities.
The Fellowship is a collaboration between the Center for Public Justice, the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference (NHCLC), and the Christian Life Commission of Texas Baptists (CLC).

When many people think about human trafficking, they may think primarily about sex trafficking since that gets the most attention in the headlines. However, a large portion of the international human trafficking industry actually refers to forced labor. Individuals are tricked or forced to make a difficult decision to work for little to no pay for abusive and demanding companies that keep them trapped as a worker and unable to choose their own employment. They work long hours in often dangerous working conditions and enable these companies to turn a large profit on cheap clothing. Keep reading to learn more.
