Trafficking in the United States?
Oh, yes.
Trafficking in Indiana?
Definitely.
Trafficking in Hancock county?
Yes.
... Those things are heartbreaking and gut-wrenching, especially when you learn the dark details, but they are true. It's too true.
Indifference and apathy are something that we as people (or at least myself) slip into very easily. But that's no excuse... it can't be an excuse.
Because if I was her, if I was him, I'd want me to do something. I'd beg and cry and plead for me to do something. For you to do something.

So won't you join us? Won't you please join us in doing something?
Come Walk/Run with us this Saturday, and stand against the selling of children in our city, state, nation, and world.
Be aware. Please, be aware. Keep your eyes open for signs of trafficking children and women around you, and don't hesitate to call for help for them. You may be their only way out.

I won't lie: this video literally made me sob. Because it's true. I've read too many articles, seen too many reports, read too many stories, to pretend it's just fiction. Just story or song material. It's Real. And it's Right Here . In the United States. In Indiana. In Hancock County. I refuse to live in fear, that's something I decided a long time ago. But if I am being honest, this does make me scared sometimes. Scared to go places on my own or to be in "sketchy" areas. If I let this help me make wise, careful decisions, then I suppose it's a good thing. Please Pray. Pray for physical rescue, yes, but also Spiritual Rescue and Emotional Healing. Because prayer can set people free, because we know the One we are praying to. And He is a Rescuer and Healer. |
