First Wednesday Speaker Series
An intelligent mind acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge. –Proverbs 18:15

Wednesday, May 2, 6:30–8:00pm
Fireside Room

Brian Wo, Co-Founder, Chief Program Officer of the Bay Area Anti-Trafficking Coalition will be with us on Wednesday evening to help equip and engage us with best practices to sustain in the fight against human trafficking in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond. The Bay Area Anti-Trafficking Coalition works on a continuum of care among victim service providers, and educates activists about how to sustain in their continuum of engagement to intervene on behalf of those who are enslaved.

Brian first heard about human trafficking in 2008 through the film Call and Response, and has been involved in the anti-trafficking movement since. Prior to starting the BAATC, he spent over sixteen years in vocational ministry, including twelve years as the Associate Pastor of Grace Community Covenant Church. A native of Phoenix, AZ, Brian studied Mechanical Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley, and worked in the aerospace industry before answering the call to ministry. Brian holds a B.S. from UC Berkeley, and a M.A. from Fuller Theological Seminary. Besides being an ordained minister in the Evangelical Covenant Church, he plays jazz, loves running, and tinkers with his ’67 Mustang when he has spare time.

Dinner is a chicken and steak self-serve taco bar from La Salsa. A freewill offering of $15 helps us cover costs.

If you plan to come, we really need to know. Please RSVP here.
