INTRODUCTION
The first time someone called me an abolitionist, I squirmed a little. That was a big word. A term for people like William Wilberforce or others who spent their lives delivering people from bondage. Not people like me. I just care, and am doing a little bit in the big fight.
Hmm. I care, and I'm doing a little bit.
If I were talking with you about fighting human trafficking, I would say that if you care, and you are doing something, then you are part of the fight. It doesn't have to be everything - nobody can do everything. If you're praying, raising awareness, having a jewelry party (see Women At Risk Int. or Rahab's Rope), sponsoring an at-risk child (see Gospel for Asia), buying punjammies (see International Princess Project), or keeping the hotline number on hand in case you see something (1-888-373-7888), you are part of the global fight against slavery. You are an abolitionist.
Why am I an abolitionist? Because no one should wake up afraid. Because no one should live without hope or love. Because I have so many freedoms and others have none. Because Jesus said to love my neighbor as myself, and that it is more blessed to give than receive.
Most of all, because every hurting child, every broken woman, every enslaved man is loved with an everlasting love by God Himself. And if I love God, I must love them too. They are part of who He is.
Jesus came to set the captives free. Those of us who are abolitionists are part of that.
In this book you'll find stories from some of my favorite ministries, from people who rescue trafficked victims around the world, from others who rescue those at risk for trafficking before they become victims. You'll hear from people who have joined the fight and why, and at the end of each section, you'll find ways you can get involved.
If you're part of the fight, thank you. If you aren't yet but long to be, read on . . .
