God's children are not for sale.

"Sound of Freedom" Movie

July 30 is End Human Trafficking Day every year. It needs to be every day. 2 Million Children, every year, are trafficked. Women and men are also trafficked. "Sound of Freedom" is based on a true story. Tim Ballard, who lived the stories, demanded the movie contain nothing that might titillate or entice. I remember when O.U.R. - Operation Underground Railroad - first started. They didn't want simple rescuing because the children just ended up back in the slave trade. O.U.R. started operation once they had in place: rescuing, prosecuting the predators, and aftercare for the survivors. They work with and train law enforcement all over the world. When life was more stable I donated every month to O.U.R. I want to be able to do that again.

Jaco Booyens's younger sister was kidnapped and trafficked. He spent two years searching for her and rescued her. He created Jaco Booyens Ministry. I've seen numerous interviews with him. In one, he reported that on average children are first exposed to pornography as early as 8 years old and it's usually rape. Trafficking is becoming the most profitable business on the planet and funds/supplements all other illicit activities. 

Victor Marx also conducts rescuing operations.

Numerous organizations exist to fight this evil. Some address the electronic side exclusively. Some address the aftercare exclusively. Do the homework if you decide to donate. Prayer doesn't cost anything but time and pride. A small price to pay. God bless all those in the fight and help them rescue the innocents.
