International Weekend of Prayer and Fasting for Victims of Sexual Trafficking
Slavery in the form of Sex Trafficking is a horrific reality of our world today. In the US alone, it is estimated that there are 100,000 to 150,000 sex slaves who’ve been kidnapped from all over the world and sold here in our own cities.
My (Christiana’s) heart has been burdened for this issue for several months now. As I listen to God, I’m hearing His invitation to join Him in pursuing rescue and justice for these victims…. that are literally in my back yard.
There is a home in my neighborhood that has been approved as a safe house for rescued victims of sexual trafficking. I’m not sure what it will look like but I’m offering myself as a volunteer to help in the restoration process.
Sept 25-27 is officially an international weekend of prayer and fasting for victims of sexual trafficking. Its led by the efforts of the Salvation Army. Myself and a few of us from NieuCommunities are participating in this weekend of remembering in prayer, those who suffer and those who work to see God’s Kingdom come in these dark places.
Next month I’ll be attending a 2 day global forum on human trafficking. I sense that this is an important part of my development for God’s purposes here in the down town San Diego area.
