Ever since I watched the documentary, Nefarious I have been researching so much about the problem of sex trafficking our society. This is such a huge topic and something that I know currently has been getting a lot of public recognition recently by documentaries, celebrities and even President Obama [see this recent video]. Being that I studied Anthropology in College, its especially interesting to me to see the reasons why or how Women are getting into prostitution which in America has been because of various forms of manipulation.
(Honestly I could already speak hours on this topic)
I have been just amazed recently to see the doors that God is opening for me to continue my research on this topic. This next week I will get the opportunity to volunteer with The Florida Coalition Against Human Trafficking (FCAHT) and learn more about what is occurring and can be done locally. I will also get to attend a conference next weekend in Ocala, Fl where FCAHT will speak as well as a christian ministry called Beauty From Ashes that works to restore victims and outreach to strip clubs in Fort Myers, Fl.
I am extremely passionate about learning more about what is occurring on the streets around me and raising awareness to this issue. We need to stand up and pray for these women, children and men involved. It's easy to look at these situations and turn your head because it is a 'hard' topic to understand or 'depressing' to hear. But our God is so faithful. He is so just and so mighty. He can save the prostitute, the victim, the pimps and the Johns [purchaser of sex]. I can look at it and be angry to know people in our world could be so evil and cruel but then I look to God and know he saves and loves each one of them all the same.
If you have any questions or want to hear any more of my thoughts or the direction I feel God is specifically leading me (currently) please message me anytime. I would love to talk more about what God is doing.
Our God has the power
to break every chain.
