How do you begin to take down an illegal and immoral international organization that has infected such a large part of the world?
Human trafficking. We can kill everyone involved but that would take forever and probably take away a good quarter of the earth's population. How do we do it peacefully? Is there a way to go about it? The movie TAKEN enlightens the viewer of the viral organization that is human trafficking and exposes the horrors and simply grotesque features of the monstrosity. It is natural that one begins to think if there is anyway to cure or treat this earthly virus more fearsome than the HIV virus to which we are so accustomed. The earth cries in agony as this virus still spreads as strongly as ever, it pleads for an antidote to such powerful poison that eats away at its inhabitants that it so loves. What can we, the people who abhorr such gruesome actions contribute to the much needed cure or at least treatment of this matter? Have we even concerned ourselves with such an illness that is common knowledge? I for one do not know of such a movement except for Call and Response that our church contributed to this past year. However, it was hard to get involved emotionally and mentally to a topic that was hard to emphatize with. But I digress.
I honestly do not know where or how to begin. Do you have an idea?

"O Israel, put your hope in the Lord, for with the Lord is unfailing love and with him is full redemption. He himself will redeem Israel from all their sins." - Psalm 130: 7-8
We really can't do anything to heal this world. What can we do but pray? But even prayer is an awesome way to lift the oppressed and we often take it for granted. It is frustrating to know that there's not much we can do. But God is so much more powerful than us and He is a just God.
Though, one way to get people from ignoring the issue of sex trafficking is to bring them mentally closer to the issue. There are studies that indicate a link between pornography and sex trafficking. Pornography is a huge industry in America and something a lot of people take too lightly.
PS Alex, are you in NY? When are we going to chill?
