Sara Groves

An artist that I have recently started enjoying a lot is Sara Groves. Her music and lyrics are amazing and what strikes me the most about her is her heart. She is a humble servant.
She was part of a film series called The Nomad Show, where they film people who have decided to "roam", they share their story and their cause. Here is the trailer.

Here is a music video of the song "I Saw What I Saw" from her experience in Africa.

She is also very involved in the International Justice Mission organization. Here is her description of what it is...
“IJM is a team of lawyers and law enforcement officials who work around the globe to represent people who wouldn’t normally have access to that kind of intervention. In Southeast Asia they work mostly freeing young girls from brothels. Over a million women and children are trafficked every year, but IJM is leading the way in setting new precedents in the fight against human trafficking. In Africa, they represent the oppressed, and work to restore land to widows who have been robbed of their land. In South Asia they work to free families and groups of people from bonded slavery. Basically, they are public defenders for the least of these.”
