Fair Go - Transforming Lives with Fair Trade
Here's a social justice idea for you evangelists and Christian activists out there...
A mate of mine (Mr. John Logan of Darwin Salvos) has got involved with helping a local Christian group whose main passion is for justice. A large part of their ministry is to run a "Fair Go" stall at the famous Mindill Beach Markets (a place well-known for applauding their sunsets) in Darwin, NT. They source fairly-traded products and sell them to tourists in the midst of a market filled with hippy-style New-Age stalls and a multicultural mix of ethnic foods (the classic was 'Road Kill Cafe' selling possum sausages... sorry Dibbie!). The stall raises some cash for Fair-Trade projects in needy areas and the team incarnationally 'infiltrates' the world of tourists, Hippies and night-lifers.
It's a great way to get the message of Fair Trade out there and connect with the unsaved in a genuine way (with a cause that they respect). What do you reckon?

While the possum was nice, the wallaby is better!!
The fair trade stall is pretty cool too!
"main passion is for justice" ..
just to put it out there.
Shouldn't their main passion be for Jesus Christ and to save souls?
Great story as for me. It would be great to read something more about that topic.
