Zondervan congratulates Steve Chalke on being appointed by the United Nations as a special advisor to the Global Initiative to Fight Human Trafficking. We also thank Steve for his extensive work on stopping human trafficking.
“My appointment is simply a symbol of the power for change that 1.5 million voices have created,” said Chalke. "The crime of people trafficking or, to put it in stark terms, modern slavery, for sex, forced labour and even organ harvesting is one that shames us all. However, though the reality is that trafficking is now the world’s fastest growing crime, I believe that every person, corporation and government can make choices which will turn the tide and that together we can see this great evil defeated. Stop the Traffik remains absolutely committed to that goal.” Quote is from ChristianToday.com's full article about Steve's appointment at this link.
Steve is the founder of Oasis Global, the Faithworks Movement, Parentalk, and the Church.co.uk Network. In 2004 he was awarded an MBE by the Queen for his work in social inclusion. He is currently the Guinness World Record holder of the most charitable money ever raised through a single sporting event, having captured his title at the 2007 London Marathon from Sir Steve Redgrave.
