I read the following two excerpts in an article today and it broke my heart. we need to pray for these people and we need to pray now. They could use all of our prayers and out support. I will be looking for organizations that help with this sort of problem and I will post them on the blog. Here is what I read:
"The victims, some as young as 12, are kidnapped, beaten, raped, and forced to have sex with up to dozens of men each day. Their pimps brainwash them into emotional dependence. Pimps then teach their sex slaves to mistrust police, making their escape from this vicious cycle of violence extremely difficult."
"Children comprise 50 percent of the human trafficking trade. Trafficking humans, a $10-billion dollar industry, is now the third most profitable criminal activity behind drug and arms sales."
Please join me in praying for these children and women. They need help and they need it now. This is not something that should be ignored. These people are daughters, sisters, mothers, and friends and they are being sold like material goods. Pray that they will find freedom from their captors and freedom in Christ.
