human sex trafficking

me and mike rented this movie this week..human trafficking. it's hard to watch but i recommend it....it brings up the real issue of human trafficking. And it's so interesting because me and mike watched it this week and then on the news twice there have been stories regarding human trafficking, one woman right here in vancouver was beaten almost to death with a machette, then in seattle and LA they found containers full of woman being trafficked into the country. Then as well on csi miami me and mike were watching, it was about woman being trafficked in as well, to be used for prostitution. it's crazy how much it has come up, it definitely has gotten our attention, i've always wanted to be able to do something to help but never really sure what to do. But it's amazing how it seems as if God brings something in front of your face and really gets your attention....it's gotten both mike and i's attention...we are hoping God helps us a find a way to help these women..or stop this horrible thing that is happening all over all the time.

God has been working on my heart re: the issue of human trafficking as well (then again, most issues like this rip my heart open - the gift of mercy, you know?) Anyway, Natalie Grant started her own organization to combat this very real issue and Radiant/Relevant magazine have also had issues on it. As Christians, we are commanded to serve the poor and needy (I would say these girls classify as "needy"!!). When God grabs your attention, don't look away...
Love you guys! Emilie Schmitz
