The greatest injustice is those unreached with the hope of the gospel. The reality of this issue is that millions are being enslaved and are in desperate need of the Healer. We believe that Jesus is placing a burning on the hearts of His children to go and reach this unreached people group. The church should be the first responders to a crisis such a this. About 98 percent of women in prostitution, have a trafficker. There is no little girl that said “prostitution” would be her dream job. We believe God desires for his daughters to come home and to be made new again.
“The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is upon me, for the LORD has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to comfort the brokenhearted and to proclaim that captives will be released and prisoners will be freed.” Isaiah 61:1
We wont stop until we see every life reached & freed!

Human trafficking is the use of force, coercian or fraud to obtain some type of labor or sexual act.
Anyone can become subject to being trafficked yet the biggest risk factors are substance use, being a runaway, homelessness, poverty, mental health concerns, and prior history of abuse.
Many times, the victim is psychologically manipulated into this lifestyle. They can be bound by fear of leaving due to familial or personal threats or they could even develop stockholm syndrome with their captor. In every situation there is a level of trauma that dibilitates the ability to make the decision to run.
The answer most likely is yes. Human trafficking is within every nation and America is one of the top nations for human trafficking. It is happening in rich and impoverished neighborhoods.
A victim of trafficking can vary but most of them will not have any personal items on themselves, may look like they havent showered, wont look you in the eyes, and may be under the influence of drugs. If you suspect they are in the life of trafficking, engage with them and ask if they need help, have the human trafficking hotline number availble to give them.
There are many ways you can join the fihgt to ending human trafficking. To name a few, you can vote for bills that aid victims, donate and volunteer at organizations that are helping these victims, you can create gift bags to give out, and you can share with you friends about whats happening in America & encourage them to get involved!
