Freedom Week!

Join Jim and Jennifer today as they talk with Jessica Pittman and Kathy McIlhargey today - both involved with Freedom Week!

Jessica has been on staff at Fresno First Baptist church for almost 10 years now. She primarily work as the Mission Director and also now as Children's Ministries Director. She has been married 7 years and is expecting her first baby the end of February! She first started learning more in depth about human trafficking issues on a mission trip she lead to Prague and Amsterdam in 2007, and since then God has guided her to form and lead a team of people in the Central Valley to raise awareness and take action in this area! The Central Valley Justice Coalition is dedicated to mobilizing the church to make a difference in our community in relationship to human trafficking.

Kathy has served on the Central Valley Justice Coalition for a year.  Her areas of focus are outreach, advocacy, prevention and prayer.  She has an MA in Christian Ministry from Mennonite Brethren Biblical Seminary.  In recent years she worked for Stewards Inc, a non-profit that  served those struggling with homelessness, mental health challenges, and addiction.
