Pastor Heidi McGinness

Pastor Heidi McGinness is Outreach Director for Christian Solidarity International. CSI-USA, a human rights organization that has delivered humanitarian aid to South Sudan since 1995 and in Darfur since 2003. Six trips to war-torn Sudan with CSI have catapulted Pastor McGinness into becoming a modern-day abolitionist and passionate defender of the victims of slavery, genocide and persecution. She has been personally present to document the liberation of over 1,300 men, women and children from slavery, delivering tons of medicine and grain, thousands of survival kits, spiritual support and hope. The release of slaves taken during the 23 year civil war between the North and the South was not a part of the 2005 Comprehensive Peace Act. Tens of thousands of Sudanese—men, women and children—are still enslaved. Pastor Heidi speaks to groups in churches, synagogues, universities, public and private schools in the United States and in Switzerland advocating for human rights for ALL people. Pastor Heidi is a passionate preacher and speaker who inspires and engages her audience, large or small. A glimpse of the abolitionist work can be viewed in the YouTube footage documented by fellow CCGAA Board Member, Tamara Banks, documentarian and independent journalist. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnatPTB5u0Y Addressing slavery can be viewed in this Fox News live video link: http://iabolish.blogspot.com/2007/06/simon-deng-of-aasg-interviewed-on-f...
