I am absolutely undone!! This morning I was reminded of a passion that was ignited in my heart 6 years ago when I went to Cambodia and Thailand for two months on outreach with Youth With A Mission. Before we left, we received cultural training and learned a little bit about FGM (female genital mutilation) and Child sex trafficking and exploitation. The statistics show that 2 children are sold to the sex trade every minute! Six years ago, I asked the Lord if He would not allow me to forget these little ones and the absolute wickedness that fuels this billion-dollar per year industry. He hasn't. The verse that He gave me six years is Isaiah 58:6-9...
"Is this not the fast that I have chosen:
To loose the bonds of wickedness,
To undo the heavy burdens,
To let the oppressed go free,
And that you break every yoke?
Is it not to share your bread with the hungry?
And that you bring to your house the poor who are cast out;
When you see the naked that you cover him,
And not hide yourself from your own flesh?
Then your light shall break forth like the morning,
Your healing shall spring forth speedily,
And your righteousness shall go before you;
The GLORY OF THE LORD SHALL BE YOUR REAR GUARD!
Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer;
You shall cry, and He will say 'Here I am'."
Oh that He would set these captives free! I write this to ask you to partner with me in prayer for these little girls and boys and for the ministries and organizations in place to help rescue and rehabilitate victims of sex-trafficking. The website I found this morning is www.love146.com. They are a non-profit organization committed to this cause.
