Waiting in the Wilderness - a new resource for churches
The Clewer Initiative
Waiting in the Wilderness is a six-week course, that draws on themes from Luke 13 and encourages individuals and churches to respond to modern slavery in their communities.
Why “Waiting in the Wilderness”?
In the Bible, the wilderness is a place where God’s people meet Him in a special way and where they also face extreme suffering, solitude and temptation. Life is very much a “wilderness” experience for a victim of modern slavery – bleak, lonely, never-ending and without hope.
Each week of the course has the following elements:
- Bible study
Focusing on Luke 13. - Animation
An animated poem, exploring the experience of a victim of modern slavery. - Group questions
To help you dig a bit deeper and discuss how the Bible passage and poem relate to your context. - A spotlight on a form of modern slavery
Including domestic servitude, county lines, the care sector, sexual exploitation, the car wash sector and forced labour. - Ideas for action
Tangible steps to take in your community to help you respond to your learning. - A prayer
So you can commit your thoughts and resolutions to God.
