Freedom Youth Project Foundation will be presenting Liars and Posers to the middle and high school youth at Baptist Temple SA on June 1, 2014. The presentation will cover prevention strategies and will teach youth how to recognize deception tactics used by traffickers. Tomi Grover of TraffickStop will also be presenting on the issues of human trafficking and will discuss what can be done to help make a difference.
"Baptist Temple began as a mission in the home of Mrs. Elkins on Rusk Street. It was organized in 1911 and built its first worship center in 1914 on the corner of Denver and St. Anthony. In 1927 Baptist Temple moved to its current location at Gevers and Drexel. Over the years new buildings have been constructed and remodeling has continued. One thing remains the same and that is the commitment of Baptist Temple to reach out to its community with the love of Jesus Christ."

The goal is to teach youth the importance of safety and why being safe is one of the most valuable assets they can carry with them throughout their life. College students will teach youth how to protect themselves, how to be smart about the choices they make and ultimately how to defend themselves against a predator who may be trying to target them.
