God has recently burdened my heart for the people that the American church often rejects and looks down upon. Jesus did NOT spend his time and minister to the religious people of His day, he went to the tax collectors, the prostitutes, and the ones the religious people REJECTED. As Christians we strive to be like Christ, yet all we do is sit in a pew on Sunday morning, sing some songs, and listen to a sermon. NEWS FLASH: Jesus didn't do that!
My eyes have been opened to the horrific realities of the sex industry and human trafficking. Millions of women and CHILDREN are trafficked each year. Victims of human trafficking do not ask for this lifestyle, they are either forced or tricked into it. We are called to be the light in the darkness, well the darkness is all around us screaming for us to show them the love of Christ.
I feel God calling me to minister to those involved in the sex industry and the victims of human trafficking. God is definitely calling me out of my comfort zone but I am so excited to see how and where He is going to use me to minister to these ladies. Please be in prayer for the ladies involved, and the ministries who are trying to reach and rescue them!
