The Human Face of Trafficking: What Your Church Needs to Know

Mcmahon/Ryan Child Advocacy Center, a New York-based non-profit for abused children, first learned about Mora when she was arrested in a police sting operation. A staff member gave Mora her phone number and told her that if she ever wanted help, to reach out. Three weeks later Mora did, and today she is clean and sober, and her pimp is in prison for 25 years after Mora testified against him.

So today, a day that brings awareness to the abused and vulnerable, it’s worth asking God how he would have us be Jesus for the millions of Moras around the world.

Involvement in this complex problem may be as simple as educating your congregation on the realities of human trafficking and praying as a congregation that God would shed light on this dark evil. Share the list of ways to spot someone being trafficked on Sunday. Show the Exodus Cry video at your service. Pray the prayer offered by Compassion International. Consider participating in IJM’s Freedom Sunday in September.

Because if God’s church mobilizes together, today could be about more than human trafficking awareness. It could be another step toward its eradication.
