Prayer for "Finding Lacy" Conference

Prayer for "Do You Know Lacy?" Training Day June 3, 2011

Overlake Church, Redmond, WA

Information:

The name “Lacy” is used to represent all survivors of domestic minor sex trafficking.

“Hi, my name is Lacy.

I’m about 13 years old.

I am rented every night to different men.

I live in your community.

Will you please help me?”

"Shared Hope International exists to rescue and restore girls just like Lacy. They want to provide for her a safe and secure place to heal and an opportunity for new life. Prostituting of our children is so revolting. Shared Hope International works to assist activists and legislators to create laws to prevent the offense and punish the offender, so no more girls will have their innocence stolen like Lacy's was.

It is so easy to walk by this girl and not even know it . . . she's in your church, your school, the shopping mall, the drug store, the clinic, the nail salon. That’s why Shared Hope is also passionate about training people like to identify and help the girls like Lacy in their  community.

Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you in the Name of Jesus asking that You would make a way for people throughout the Puget Sound Area who are law enforcement agents, social service providers, advocates of youth, men who want to fight the demand and community advocates against human trafficking to attend this conference. Lord, we need people educated about the problem in this area, equipped to make a change and empowered to persevere in the fight against this atrocity against children. We pray that a grassroots task force would emerge from this conference that will impact the darkness in our local area.

Thank You for Shared Hope International. We ask that You would bless this organization and protect those involved with this ministry. Prosper them financially and allow them to extend their reach globally.

Thank You for what You will do through this conference.
In Jesus Name we pray, amen.
