Journalism for Justice's Sake

Tricia: Journalism for Justice's Sake

Tricia Demmers - journalism for JESUSpolitik Tricia came into chapel one morning, tired, just like any other morning... but that didn't last long.

Melissa Davis from JESUSpolitik was speaking at her school's chapel that morning about the need to fulfill our callings, to use the gifts we have to help the people around us, to give up our ideas about what WE think God wants us to do and to instead seek God for what HE wants us to do.

Then Melissa talked about the Love Maputo Project in Mozambique.

Tricia knew she had to get involved.

She's a young journalism major, she wants to use her writing to make a difference in the world... but she doesn't want to have to wait another four years before meeting the needs of kids that may be gone by then if they aren't helped immediately...

What could she do?

Afterwards they talked and set up a time to meet and get into the nitty gritty details of the situation in Mozambique and the reality of the needs there.

What resulted was a beautiful article about JESUSpolitik, the Love Maputo Project and how people can get involved. She even got to use it as a paper for one of her journalism classes!

"Life in this world is hard. Men are stripped of their strength, women robbed of their dignity, children are thrown away. You can't see these things and not have compassion, not want to change things. People will slip away into eternity without knowing that there is a God that loves them, unless YOU open up your mouth and tell them. Unless YOU allow Jesus to work through you to DO SOMETHING about their situation. This is radically different from how the world lives - seeking God first and others first, not just yourself. It's what the world is desperately longing for.”

- Melissa Davis in "Radical Servanthood"
