Cardboard testimonies

"Some things just grip you," Pastor John Battaglia said. And those things — the life stories of people in his congregation at Christian Chapel — are best told visually. With scrap cardboard and permanent marker, those people shared the burdens, addictions and pains they were in bondage to, and how their faith in Christ set them free.
The event, along with a message from David Batstone, author and activist against modern day slave trade, kicked off Columbia's Human Trafficking Awareness Week. Pastor John emphasized that everyone was a slave to some bondage in their life, and offered hope in Sunday's message on Freedom.
"Jesus Christ is the original abolitionist," he said.
