Blume Ministries

We are working fast and furiously on the ministries aspect of Blumesm. During your Blume ministries rotation you will experience all aspects of human exploitation. Not a pretty subject, huh?

It may surprise you that 27 million people worldwide are trapped in modern-day slavery. We can no longer sit back and pretend this doesn’t exist.

In Blume ministries you will learn about every aspect of human exploitation:
Labor Trafficking
Sex Trafficking
Pornography and Sexting
Bullying
Media Exploitation
Exploitation of Natural Resources

You will experience what it is like to be “trafficked.” This will give you a better understanding of how easily one can be lured into this way of life. You will also prepare hygiene kits and write personal notes to those who have been trafficked in the Orlando area.

Part of Blume ministries will be learning about a WMU® ministry partner in Moldova, Beginning of Life, that assists victims of human trafficking in that country. And you will see the craft items and hear the stories of those who have been freed from trafficking through the WorldCraftssm Set1Free campaign.

These are just part of the Blume ministries experience. We don’t want to give it all away. I can’t wait for you to come and experience it! My prayer is that through this experience God will reveal to you how you can help those who are being exploited. Here’s a Scripture passage to keep in mind as you prepare for Blume ministries:

“Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy” (Prov. 31:8–9 NIV).

  1. I love being apart of a ministry that empowers girls to understand that knowledge is power and once you have that knowledge you are responsible to act on it, not just continue on in ignorance.

    Change a girls life, change the world!

    I'm so excited as a leader to be bringing my girls to Blume this year! Thank you, thank you for all you are doing to make this possible!
    I know that this is going to be an amazing time all around!

    Praying now for open hearts/minds and changed lives!
