"Three hundred million - that's the number of people subjected to slavery, sex-trafficking, discrimination, and unspeakable poverty in India. That's the same number of people as live in the entire United States. They are the Dalit people, the untouchables.When Matthew Cork, a California pastor, first encountered the Dalits he was shaken to his core. He learned that Gandhi's success at bringing about freedom did not extend to freeing the Dalits from the bondage of the Caste system that has oppressed them for centuries. Cork was moved to commit his church to partner with The Dalit Freedom Network to build 200 schools over ten years, a commitment of over 20 million dollars. And they are doing it. The movement has gained such momentum that a dramatic, feature-length film, Not Today (Nottodaythemovie.com) is being produced and promoted by the same group that did so for Courageous, Facing the Giants, and Fireproof.This book tells story of the Dalit people and the rising efforts to set them free, in both soul and society. It is a story of both brokenness and hope, of oppression and freedom. It calls the reader to join in the movement to freedom and restoration. The Dalits need your help. Why not start today?"--"Three hundred million--that's the number of people subjected to slavery, sex-trafficking, discrimination, and unspeakable poverty in India.

The lowest caste in India, called the Dalit people, count 300,000,000. Normally the Dalits (untouchables) are excluded from education, obliged to perform the lowest of jobs, exploited in sex-trafficking, slavery, discrimination, and poverty. I saw them when visiting Hyderabad in April 2008. Friends Church Yorba Linda, California pastor Matthew Cork visited the megacity a couple of months earlier and was struck (too) by what he saw. He committed his to partner with The Dalit Freedom Network to build 200 schools over ten years, a commitment of over US$20 million. Where he own local church underwent a leadership crisis in the naughties, the restated vision to be a church not inwardly focused, but enabling social change, the Global Freedom movement began to gain momentum. Then the economic crisis of 2008 hit hard. Slumdog Millionaire (2008) gave the opportunity to record a dramatic, feature-length film, Not Today (produced by the same group that did so for Courageous, Facing the Giants, and Fireproof). Why Not Today – Trafficking, Slavery, the Global Church… and You tells two stories: one is the history and present situation of the Dalit people and the various efforts to set them free, in both soul and society. The other story is Cork’s own personal memories of his church ministry with hits and misses. In the end, the two collide in a kind of altar call to raise funds and support for the Global Freedom foundation to help the Dalits. ( )
