I discovered this outrageous truth while at a conference in Atlanta. The statistic was that there are over 150,000 children in the sex trade industry… in the U.S. alone. That is among the 27 million individuals worldwide being sold into slavery for the purpose of sex trafficking. I was horrified at these statistics as you are no doubt feeling the same way as you read this. Below you’ll find a trailer to a movie coming out that creatively exposes this horrible truth. Additionally I’ve included links to organizations where you can learn more, and join the cause to do something about this tragedy. As the church, inaction is not optional for us… Luke 4:18, 19
