Child Sex Trafficking

Proverbs 24:11-12
Rescue those being led away to death; hold back those staggering toward slaughter. If you say, "But we knew nothing about this," does not he who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not he who guards your life know it? Will he not repay each person according to what he has done?

"Inside the world of child sex trafficking, each year, by some estimates, hundreds of thousands of girls and boys are bought, sold or kidnapped and then forced to have sex with grown men" so begins a NBC Dateline report. One of the most hideous crimes today is the world of child sex trafficking. Now that we know about this, we are compelled to do something about it. Please consider today what you can today to rescue children being led to the slaughter of child sex trafficking.

Things we can do right away:

1. Become informed through reports like those shown on NBC Dateline listed below
2. Sign a petition asking the Obama Administration to fight human trafficking today
3. Financially support organizations like IJM below
4. Pray that "demand" for this trade will become obsolete.
