Today at Restore, we continued with our series through the book of Nehemiah called, The Leader Within. From Nehemiah 2 we discovered that the vision within a leader comes to life when the heartbreak of a leader shifts its focus to the way things should be. We shared the story of Zach Hunter, a 15 year old young man who created Loose Change to Loosen Chains focused on eradicating modern day slavery. His heart broke for children in slavery and he had to so something about it.
The highlight was sharing a video of my dear friend Lane Hunter, who is dying of a rare intestinal disease, who through his passion to share Jesus with everyone he can, touched the life of Jan Boothe who now attends Restore. Thanks COMMUNITY and TJ Friesen for putting the video together. Enjoy....

Hi Pastor,
Thanks for raising awareness for what we're trying to do to end slavery. Please pray for our generation as we commit to working with God to improve the world for those who are hurting and oppressed.
