Prayer
For those of you who would like to join with the Wesleyan Church for i x 2 (intercession and intervention) this Human Trafficking Awareness Day, here are the prayer points suggested on the event’s Facebook page:
• The protection, rescue, and recovery of human trafficking victims.
• The spiritual repentance and conversion of human traffickers.
• The members of congress who create laws against human trafficking.
• The members of the judiciary system who prosecute traffickers of humans.
• The federal, state, and local police who enforce laws against human trafficking.
• The national, spiritual, and social conditions that allow human trafficking.
Don’t forget to prayerfully consider your place in this battle.
Action
Here are a few things you can do to help the exploited and vulnerable.
Support World Hope International‘s anti-trafficking efforts or the International Justice Mission.
Sponsor a child through World Hope or Compassion International.
If you are interested in sampling fair trade foods, check out Trade as One’s Hungry for Change program. For $33 a month, you will receive four or five food items they carry in their online store. Check out the other fair trade items they carry while you’re on their site.
Android and iPhone users can download a barcode scan app that gives company ratings of A to F based on what they do to prevent and address exploitative labor practices. Free2Work’s new and improved online ratings site should be back up and running soon.
Keep your eyes and ears open.
Examine yourself. Don’t fall victim to the lies that keep our society a place where human trafficking can not only exist but flourish. More on this later today.
