Call to Freedom

Most assume all human trafficking victims were kidnapped into trafficking, but that's a myth. The truth is many victims were groomed from a young age. Grooming is when an adult builds a connection to manipulate, exploit, and abuse them. Victims are at risk of being sexually exploited or trafficked. We must be aware of these realities and take action to protect vulnerable individuals. #humantraffickingawareness

This week, we call for prayers for the work of Call to Freedom and those we serve. For communities to become aware of those most vulnerable; to take action to identify, respond and to serve those affected by human trafficking. ?? "Your Word shows that you bring new joy and hope where previously there was only shame and fear. Help Call to Freedom be your strong tower and mighty fortress as we fight against the scourge of human trafficking. Give us the courage and wisdom to stand up against the evil that makes it possible for people to buy, sell and trade others. Give us the strength to stand in solidarity with survivors, that together we find a way to the freedom that is your gift to us all. We ask that you grant your blessing and favor to the survivors, giving them safety both physically and spiritually. For this we pray through our Lord Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen" #Prayerrequest #PrayerWarriors #FightForFreedom
