For the world you love

October 1, 2011

God loves the world.  The broken. The sick. The weary.  The oppressed.  Especially the oppressed.

Every Thursday we have intercession for the world.  This week's topic was human trafficking.  I was appalled, disturbed and just really really angry at what I found.  

God is angry too.

I found out that human trafficking is going on all over the world.  It is defined as selling people for forced labor or sexual exploitation.   Most women who are prostitutes are kidnapped & forced into the industry from all parts of the world; they think they will work as a nanny or housekeeper in another country.  Many of these women come from China, Korea, Eastern Europe, places like Moldova, & Ukrainian orphanages, yes the people who run the orphanages actual arrange for the orphan girls & boys to be sold. 

The bottom line in all of this is that God cares about these people.  There are people out there that are addicted to pornography & most of those women in those videos are trafficked.  They are adding to human traffic injustice & they think that what they are doing is only affecting them.

This really pisses me off!! It makes me really angry & I believe it makes God angry.  He wants us to do something about it.  After the prayer, I was left angry & helpless.  I thought about what God wanted me to do.  And here is the first step.  I can raise your awareness about this topic.  I encourage you to take a second to pray for those oppressed & watch Timea's 8 minute video depicting her story, one of the millions of people trafficked.  http://thetruthisntsexy.ca/pages/page-2
