Fight Human Trafficking With Butter Chicken

Hey friends -

Some of you may not know this but writing and speaking about The Justice of Jesus is my side hustle. My day job for the past 10 years has been working for the world's largest global anti-human trafficking organization across 3 different countries (International Justice Mission, also called IJM) - an org I've wanted to work for since I was a 15 year old teenager in India. I’ve quite literally ‘grown up’ at this organization going from an intern in South Asia to a leader with our Canadian organization over the past 10 years. It’s actually doing the work of justice and interacting with our marginalized neighbours that caused me to deconstruct and decolonize my theology - all to reconstruct a more whole, justice-oriented and Jesus-centered Christian spirituality.

I shared a bit about IJM’s work at my home church yesterday that is partnering with IJM Canada via a giving campaign from Advent to Lent. You can watch that presentation here:

I've dedicated my career to the work of ending human trafficking in all its forms. This December, I'll be raising funds with Dressember (a grassroots movement that partners with IJM). I'd love for you to join me in this fight!

In order to make it as incentivizing as possible for you to join me in this, I am giving away my signature Butter Chicken recipe to every single person who gives more than $100 towards my Dressember campaign.

If you live in the Greater Toronto Area and give over $500, I will even personally cook and deliver a batch of Butter Chicken to your home. Seriously.

Join me in the fight against human trafficking by giving here. Any amount makes a world of difference in this fight!

If you follow me on Instagram (@JoashPThomas), you’ll regularly see me posting videos of my Indian culinary adventures. Just last week, I cooked three tasty Indian dishes I had never cooked before: Chicken Biryani, Chicken Masala and Beef Kabab. Each of these dishes were shared with friends and neighbors over two dinners.

What I’m learning about Indian food in my cooking is this: Indian food was always meant to be shared. And what better cause to share it for than the fight against human trafficking?

I hope you join me in this, friends.
