SEX Slavery - the sad truth

Many people living in more affluent, civilized parts of the world are unaware and sometimes overlook the social injustice taken place towards children and sex trafficking. If you don’t know, here is the know: Sex trafficking is big business. For example, a new police survey reveals, up to 18,000 females, including girls as young as 14, are working in brothels across Britain after being smuggled into the country. Sex slavery is the second largest money maker for organized crime closely behind illegal drugs. Christian and non-Christian groups are facing the evil head on. Groups such as “The Blind Project” are fighting this trend by raising and improving the lives for sex trafficking victims by providing education, rehabilitation, and jobs. Other groups are entering the Lions den and freeing women and children from dealers that enslave them. All are concerned individuals who aim to protect women and children from the sex trade industry. Below are two videos on the issue. One is a various testimonials in animation that portrays the experience of women who are sex trafficked from Eastern Europe to the UK.

As a Christian such evils must be stopped. Scripture is clear and conscience bear witness against such a great evil.
The prophets call us to stand up for the mistreated and oppressed. Now my point, I have a friend (we will call him Angel-A) who is going into a country to free those caught in this industry of flesh. So if you think about it, pray for the father’s protection is over him, the Son’s gospel to be lived out, and the Spirit’s power to be presence. He flies out on Thursday. Thank you.
