THIS JUST IN!

We are tremendously blessed to be able to say that Isaac Amol will be our featured guest at the Life Mission Concert and Fashion show and will be speaking!

A survivor of the conflict in the Sudan and a gripping speaker, Isaac has devoted his life to helping to aid children who have not been able to escape the terror of the conflict in Southern Sudan.

Also speaking will be Andrew Stearns, the Lieutenant Mayor of Malibu.

Don't miss these speakers...or any part of this amazing event!

Get Involved!

People have been asking how they can be involved with this amazing project...so here are the top 5 ways you can make an impact:

1. Attend and bring a friend! All are welcome and it’s going to be an AWESOME show.
2. Donate! We need money (and resources) to make this happen…everything we make from this show is going to help kids. If you have any celebrity, media or donation contacts for us, please email one of the following:
Chair
or Right Hand Managerials
Kristi Bansemer: kb4lifemission@aol.com
Casi Ticer: ct4lifemission@aol.com

The more we have, the better the show and greater number of children we can help.
3. Participate in the Freshman Challenge! Whichever freshman dorm buys the most tickets wins a major prize.
4. Participate in the Greek Competition! Whichever Pepperdine Greek group donates the most and/or has the most participants wins major prize.
5. Bring your campus or church group. The more people who come, the more good we can do!
6. Buy a t-shirt! They are made by several designers printed on non-sweatshop American Apparel, look great, and every time you wear one you'll be reminded that your t-shirt helped save a child.
7. Spread the word! Talk it up-at school, with your family, at Ralphs-wherever it occurs to you-and keep talking!

With the event only a few weeks away, we're getting SO excited!

Welcome!

Thank you for visiting us to support the Life Mission Fashion Show and Concert.

In case you are wondering what we actually are, I just wanted to tell you a little about the event:

What we are: A concert and fashion show to raise funds and awareness about forms of modern day slavery through ticket sales, donations, media attention, and selling items made by the very people the show supports. One individual from each Pepperdine campus organization will be highlighted as a model in the fashion show. Come support your friends!

Who is involved: YOU, Pepperdine Students, Southern Californian Guests, Donors, Survivors of the warfare in the Sudan and Thai sex trafficking, Celebrities, Musicians, Fair-Trade Clothing Designers, and Other University Guests.

Where: At Pepperdine University's 30 acres of rolling green hills overlooking the Pacific Ocean, known as "Alumni Park".

When: Sunday, November 2, 2008, from 2pm to 7pm.

Why:
-Over 25,000 Sudanese children (ages 3 and up) have been kidnapped and forced to kill their families and one another in a war they don't understand and for which they aren't responsible.
-In 2005, 9.5 million people were trafficked in Asia alone. the majority of these victims are children, kidnapped and forced into the sex trade. .
-We're a part of a global community and we believe God has instructed us "as you have done it unto the least of these, you have done it unto me."

We thank you for your heartfelt consideration and support of this show and most importantly, these children.
Love and Blessings,
Sara Ward
Executive Chair of Life Mission Concert and Fashion Show


The Heart of our Show

  • We have been tremendously blessed.
  • We refuse to be just another part of a generation that, pundits claim, is strictly driven by materialism and greed.
  • We know our world is interconnected and that every action has a reaction.
  • Our hearts break at the suffering we see.
  • We can’t bear to continue to sit still, shut up, say only the “right” things and watch as people suffer and die all around us.
  • We want to make a difference in our sisters and brothers lives around the world.
  • We yearn to believe and see that we can influence change.
  • We desire to be apart of doing something bigger than ourselves, to give to something larger than us-that will impact generations.
  • We understand that talent coupled with positive name recognition draws media, press bring funds and finances open doors to help countless people.
  • We hunger to highlight those who truly care about children…children who have been beaten, maimed, kidnapped, who have nothing and yet continue to fight.
  • We are fighters too…We identify with these children.
  • We’re desperate to take advantage of the opportunities that have been set before us to prove that the next generation of America’s youth cares deeply, that what affects children in Africa and Thailand affects us from Malibu to Tennessee to New York, that one group of determined people with a plan and compassionate hearts really can shake the atmosphere for the positive.
  • We NEED your help.
