Beacons Take AIM at Human Rights Issues

EUGENE, Ore. – The NCU volleyball team has new warm-up gear, which they debuted at last weekend’s home games. While they appear just to be any regular warm-up shirt, they are anything but.

These important shirts are imported from Cambodia, from the Agape Training Center (ATC) in Phnom Phen, which is part of Agape International Missions (AIM). ATC is a factory that employs girls who have been saved from the horrors of Cambodia’s enormous human trafficking industry. These girls work to get back on their feet and begin to establish their own career.

This project was so important to the Beacons that, with their yearly budget for uniforms and gear tapped out, they took money from their own pockets to make it happen. Volleyball Chaplain Captain Janel Fetters said, “It was really important to us to support this cause. AIM does some great Kingdom work in Phnom Phen. These girls were lucky enough to be rescued by some amazing Christian organizations. They have discovered the love and mercy of a God who gives them a peace and hope that I doubt I could have if I was placed in the same situation.”
