Sex Trafficking in the U.S.

From World Vision Report

Information:

The U.S. State Department says up to 17-thousand women and children are brought into the U.S. each year in a form of modern day slavery – primarily for sexual purposes. But that’s only 10-percent of the trafficking problem. Host Peggy Wehmeyer talks with former Congresswoman Linda Smith who says thousands of young girls already living in the U.S. also are being duped into the sex trade – primarily through the Internet. Smith heads the organization “Shared Hope International” which found two-million sex sites on the Internet, 5,000 of them dealing in child pornography.

Prayer Focus:

Ask the Lord for exposure and convictions for those demanding and those providing 100,000-300,000 human  trafficking victims along the truck routes of America. Cry out to God on behalf of those 11-13 year old little girls on the Internet thinking that they are communicating with another innocent who end up taken advantage of and even killed as they respond to predators on line.  Ask the Lord to let America wake up to its own sin and repent from human trafficking.  Ask God to stop the online growth of child pornography in the US.  Ask God to shut down these sex industry sites.  Ask God to bring freedom and healing to those like Amy who are rescued.   Praise God for the progress that has been made through Shared Hoe International and World Vision in America.
