149 - Artists Fighting Human Trafficking: A Conversation with Anthony P Apr 21, 2020

Show notes

I love it when the Lord makes divine appointments, bringing together folks who would never have met in order to advance His Kingdom purposes. And this just happened to me recently when I met Anthony (last name purposely withheld).

Anthony leads a ministry call the 611 Network, a global organization committed to fight the plague of human trafficking while ministering healing and restoration to its victims.

This is a powerful interview and an opportunity for you to link arms and support this movement with your time, energy and talents as a Kingdom artist.

You can connect with Anthony and the 611 network the web at www.611network.org and on Facebook and Instagram @611Network

This episode of the Thriving Christian Artist Podcast is one of those episodes that is really special to me. I had the honor of sitting down for a chat with Dr. Byron Spradlin.

As a pastor, musician, teacher, and encourager, Byron blends worship and scriptural teaching in a way that God seems to use to move people towards more practical encounter with Jesus, His Word, His help and His health.

Byron is also the founder of Artists in Christian Testimony, an interdenominational mission which now has missionaries and ministries in over 40 nations around the world.

You can connect with Byron and what he’s doing on the web at www. www.actinternational.org
