Grace is one of the virtues that God asks us to extend to others on a regular basis so that we can remain in fellowship with one another.

It is also a name.

Worshiping at Grace Baptist Church.

We attend Grace Baptist Church here in Yaounde.

And we see grace extended to us as we worship with many different people from a multitude of backgrounds each week.

It is also the name of one of my students who has been in a small group with me this year.  She has felt a call to draw attention to the plight of those who suffer from human trafficking.

The blue heart, a symbol the UN has assigned to the fight against human trafficking, represents the cold hearts of traffickers and the blue / sadness of victims.

Consequently she has been sharing her findings with the school during our morning assemblies and last Friday night organized a fund-raising event to support a group in Cameroon that tries to help victims of trafficking both in Cameroon and abroad.

Grace introducing her Blue Heart Music night to raise awareness and funds to combat human trafficking.

Grace mobilized many students and others in the community to participate in a variety of ways.

A number of us made cakes that offered in a silent auction to raise funds.

Students played music and sang, while the audience enjoyed some snacks and bid on the cakes.

It was a great night and an amazing amount of money raised –

360,000CFA

((which for you who think in dollars is about $580)
