SERIOUSLY DISTURBED

Joining the Resistance

It took seeing seven-year-old prostitutes to jolt me out of my apathy.

As Christ-followers, let's lead the way in dismantling the brothels that cater to pedophiles, breaking down the iron doors that keep captive children enslaved, and bringing the evildoers to justice. God expects us to fight on behalf of these little ones—the least of the least—with the same fierce passion we would expend if these were our daughters, our granddaughters, our nieces, and our baby sisters. May God grant us the courage necessary to march boldly into enemy territory and set the captives free.

As I wrote to Kay more than a year ago (without any response) about her call to action in AIDS work, missionaries and national churches have been on the front lines for years, physically rescuing the innocents who are forced to participate in sex-slavery/trafficking. I'm glad that she is finally seeing the need but like Julie above, wonder what she will do to participate in bringing justice to these children. I urge you, Kay, to contact International Justice Mission or the Remember Nhu ministry, both of which help with the rescue and rehabilitation of these girls. Remember Nhu is affiliated with a home that takes in the girls, giving them unconditional love and helping them to adjust to life of freedom in Christ. Put your money where your mouth is. Many of us have been doing it for years!
