For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: Eph. 5:8
I had a dream about human trafficking last night. I woke up resolved to do something. Ya'll, Jesus said to be Lights. Let's.
The characters in this story are purely fictional. Although, so many cases like these are happening in the world today.
Hi. I’m 8 years old. Like most
little girls I don’t play with dolls or eat way too much sugar. I don’t cuddle
on my daddy’s lap and my momma doesn’t do my hair.
Why? Because I’m a victim to human
trafficking.
I’m not like most girls my age, I don’t have that simple innocence
about my age. I was exposed to things that normal eight year old girls haven't been.
I’m older beyond my years.
Hi. I’m a 11 year old boy. I’m not like most
boys my age, I don’t run and play all the time. I don’t have loads of energy
and dream-well yeah, I do dream a lot about hunting and getting away from this.
I’m so hurt and messed up.
Why? Because I’m a victim to human trafficking.
Hi. I’m a 14 year old girl. I didn’t start
high school and I can’t look forward to all the new friends I’ll make.
I didn't get my first phone a year ago and I don’t post cute pictures on Instagram.
My life is a living hell.
Why? Because I’m a victim to human trafficking.
Hi. I’m a 18 year old girl. I did go to high
school and the first two years were great. I did have friends, I had fun, I felt
free. But the other two years weren’t so well. He stole my heart and lied to
me. Now I don’t know if I’ll ever find a way out. I’m so dead inside.
Why?
Because I’m a victim to human trafficking.
Hi. I’m a 21 year old man. I didn’t have the pride swelling up inside me when I turned such an important age. I didn’t have my mom
and dad telling me they were proud of me. I wanted to be happy but the life my
mom had trapped me into when I was just a little boy made it impossible.
Why?
Because I’m a human trafficking victim.
We need your help. Yes. You.
But you can do something.
What?
You can donate money to organizations and get
involved with them. You can spread the word. How? So many people have talents. Raise
awareness. Sing songs. Write books and articles. Use your voice. Use the social
media you do have. Be aware yourself.
And mostly importantly. Pray. For. Us. Pray
for our peace and comfort. Pray for our deliverance. Pray that Jesus will wrap
His loving, graceful arms around us. Pray that through this all we can learn to
trust in a God that won’t let go.
We need your help? Will you give it?
Millions are being trafficked every day,
many times a day. Please. Let’s stand against this.
“You can choose to turn and walk away, but
you can never again say that you did not know.”
William Wilberforce
Remember them that
are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being
yourselves also in the body.
Hebrews. 13:3
