Ministry Calls for Prayer, Fasting on Behalf of Human Trafficking

A Family News in Focus story says it’s been estimated that there are about 27 million people suffering in slavery around the world, including forced labor and the sex trade.

Now, the Salvation Army has suggested a course of action beyond establishing tighter laws - a weekend of prayer and fasting. Lisa Thompson with the Army says the problem is too large to depend on human solutions alone.

Human trafficking is now the second largest criminal enterprise in the world just behind the drug trade. “We’re asking people to organize themselves and to pray and to fast," Thompson said. "We have produced a prayer guide that people can request from us.â€Â

Additionally, Dr. Jeff Barrows with the Christian Medical and Dental Association says some U.S. companies are selling products produced by slaves.

“It is an issue that I think we, as Christians, need to be careful about to be sure that we’re following up on these news reports to see if they’re valid and if so, to hange our buying habits.â€Â

MrV,
Thank you for calling attention to the issue.

I have been a victim of this my entire life. Nothing but the power of God is going to change anything.

My experience in even asking for prayer has been met with ridicule, mocking, and name calling. Even in my recent attempt at a study on God's justice I was accused of wanting sadistic delight in seeing this enemy stopped.

It exist because the church allows it to exist. God could speak the word and it would end. Compromise and fear pave the road for the traffic.

Justice? We have not because we ask not...and we silence those who are seeking it.
