If You Want to Rescue Women from Trafficking, This is for You

For many, July 4 was a chance to celebrate with family and friends, full of fireworks, barbeques, parades, and pool parties. We celebrated living in a country created for freedom, established the day our founding fathers signed the Declaration of Independence.

But the truth is, freedom is not a reality for many.

As we celebrate our nation’s freedom, we must remember the harsh reality that there are 27 million men, women, and children trapped in slavery today.

But freedom is on the move.

Right now, rescued women in the Philippines and Thailand are choosing to return to the same bars where they once were captives. They want to set their sisters free.

It began with an organization called Wipe Every Tear in the Philippines, who helps women leave the Red Light District and receive a college education. Partnering with Adventures, their reach has jumped nations, with over 70 sexually exploited women bravely seeking restoration and life outside of the bars. Through discipleship, counseling, and healthy relationships, these brave women have found hope – and want to share it.

This story God is writing is bigger than one person, organization, country, or program. It’s a story of the Body of Christ in action, working together to establish his kingdom, continuing the Story he’s been writing all along – the story of setting his children free.

What is your Freedom Story? How could God use you to set others free?
