Unbound Movement

The Unbound Vision Rooms will take you on a journey unlike any other.  You will witness stories from rehabilitated slaves. Students your own age that were kidnapped and forced into prostitution.  The vision rooms are set up for you to be apart of the Unbound Movement.  To spur on emotion within you for you to react and stand up to make a difference.

Once you have completed the Vision Rooms you will have the opportunity to watch Call & Response, a rockumentary about Modern Day Slavery.  It will be playing in the Chapel.

Below is a glimpse of one of the vision rooms last year!

As you enter the Unbound Gathering you will be surrounded by different life experiences to open your eyes to the affects of Modern Day Slavery.

You will see various organizations that are fighting for freedom all over the world
You will hear from talented musicians who have a passion to spread the movement through music or poetry
A place for you to sit with other students and process what you just witnessed in the vision rooms
Experiences that give you a glimpse of what modern day slaves might go through.  Through out the atrium we will have vendors and exhibitors that are standing up and making a difference in the world.  For a list of the Exhibitors that will be there on Friday in the atrium, please click HERE.

The atrium opens up at 3:30pm for registration and an unforgettable experience

The Unbound Movement has had the privilege of just feeding off of Don Gerred, director of Justice Projects at Crossroads Community Church. This video takes you through the rescue of Suhanna, who was a 15 year old girl that was sold into sex slavery by her mother! Please note that this video is rather long, around 9 minutes. So please check it out if you have 9 minutes to spare. Trust us! You won’t regret it.

What impacted you the most this past weekend?

As I sat on stage Saturday night, watching the sun go down as we played, I saw hope. In the eyes of everyone in the crowd, I saw hope. In the songs we sang, I heard voices–not in despair, but voices in declaration. Voices that were saying, “no more.” I saw the end of slavery in every face in the crowd. This was probably the most important single event I have ever been a part of. It was by far the greatest musical experience of my life.

From my vantage point, most of the weekend I either stood in front of all those gathered and delivered information, or stood behind you all while you absorbed information. I realized at some point this past weekend that from behind, it was much easier to see who you were, and to get perspective on how engaged you were in learning about this issue. I am looking forward to this vantage point, following your lead, as your generation dedicates itself to knowing God more by pursuing justice for those who haven’t known it. Thanks for being my inspiration.
