Anna's Note on Human Traffiking

Everyone: Please read this carefully and methodically. What I am writing I honestly believe is of upmost importance to the heart of the Father. We can be used by Him, partner with him with our prayers and worship to change this situation…… So to get right to it…….I am currently in school getting a degree in political science, and one of my classes this semester is “Human Traffiking and Contempory Slavery”. A sobering subject and quite a party killer! But seriously this thing is so on the heart of God guys, many times in the middle of class I am crazy close to weeping because the Presence and absolute love of God falls on me for his people that are literally(and spiritually) in slavery! We have to be a part of what God is doing in this, I believe so desperately that us crying out to the Father in the midnight hours we can put a stop to this!!!!
Some numbers for you…… 27 million people around the world exist has slaves (sex slaves & labor slaves). 800,000-900,00 NEW people(children of Jesus) are enslaved every year. 80% are women and 50% are children.Selling people is the 3rd largest criminal activity in the world, behind selling illegal drugs and arms. The Int’l Labour Office estimates this generates $32 billion per year .Every year 1 million children forcibly take part in the commercial sex industry. So something that is crazy, and I think just another showing how God has stratigicly placed the Burn.

The other day in class my professor put up a slide showing the “routes” that sex traffikers take victims across the US. The first thing that I noticed was how many of them are where Burns are located or are close too!!!! Here is a short list of some of the cities…..(I have also attached the slide that shows the routes in the US, take a look)Seattle, Sacramento, Denver, Dallas, OKC, Mineapolis/St.Paul, Houston, Detroit, Boston, NYC, Richmond.These are just the major cities!

Most likely, by their proximity to bigger cities, I would guess that every single Burn city has human trafficking go through its limits. And mind you this is only the routes for Sex Trafficking in the US, this doesn’t even include those that are forced into labor. Human Trafficking is something that is happening in our communities, not just overseas!! We need to be lifting this up before the Father!! His children(literally those under 18) are being sold for Sex. His children are being sold to be nannies, and maids, and to pick crops. They are constantly physically, verbally, and sexually abused. We must open our eyes to this, bring this before the Father and plead and interceed for those who can not!! We need to pray that the routes that are taken in and between our cities would be abolished and that the Love of the Father would overtake the traffickers and pimps and that instead routes of the His Presence and His Love would be established!I know that is hardcore guys,, but we need to be hardcore and we need to listen to the heart of the Father for his children. We can be a part of downfall of Trafficking just by Burning!!! Let God Arise and his Enemies be scattered!!!!
