Creation's Calling...Are you listening?
Human trafficking is modern-day slavery. Victims of human trafficking are subjected to force, fraud, or coercion for the purpose of commercial sex, debt bondage, or forced labor. In the United States alone there are an estimated 100,000-300,000 children prostituted each year. You thought slavery was stopped by Abraham Lincoln over 150 years ago, didn't you? It's worse now than ever before. And you know what makes it even scarier? It's happening in your own backyard...the next victim could be your neighbor, sibling, best friend, child, or you.
Did you know?
Every one of God's creations has a purpose, and being a slave is not God's plan for anyone! Creation's Calling is not just about creating, but saving creations. When I first heard of human trafficking, I knew I had to do something to help. Some can put traffickers behind bars. Some can break down doors and take victims out of their slavery. Some can globally teach about human trafficking.
Raising awareness in others about this horrific crime and equipping them with information is one way I can help save a life.
Giving a portion of all my sales is another way I am able to save one of God's creations.
You can help, too. How will you save a life today?
"Free those who are wrongly imprisoned...let the oppressed go free, and remove the chains that bind people." ~Isaiah 58:6
