We often talk about the slavery of the past. We make movies, songs, slogans, t-shirts, etc. about it, but we don’t really talk about the present slavery that takes place worldwide. The vile slavery of human trafficking is prevalent in our world today. It affects millions of people every single day, yet there doesn’t seem to be much anyone is doing to stop it. Is it our job to do something about it, or is this just out of our hands? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he shines a light on the darkness of sex trafficking in his fiery message, Speak Up for the Least of These.
Speak Up For the Least of These
The sex trafficking industry is one of the most financially lucrative crimes to get involved in. So many lives have been destroyed because of this evil. We have an obligation as humans, to help those who have been the victim of this horrible and vile practice. Look at what Jesus told us about taking care of others.
40 And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’
Matthew 25:40
