End It

Slavery still exists. 

Right now, there are 27 million people trapped in slavery around the world. 27 million men, women, and children.

I remember first seeing something about human trafficking/slavery when I was younger, and not fully realizing what an epidemic this is worldwide. Even in the Unites States, people are being sex trafficked. In Atlanta alone, 5,000 women and young girls are yearly trafficked. 

It's time to take a stand and stop the spread of slavery. We need to provide a voice for these voiceless. 

Learn. Become aware of statistics. Read books like: Refuse to Do Nothing, The White Umbrella, and Not for Sale.

Raise awareness. Use social media to raise awareness about this massive issue in our world today.

Donate. Donate money and time to movements like the End it Movement which shines a light on slavery and provides resources, knowledge, and tools to end it. Check out A21 who strive to prevent, rescue, restore, and protect sexually trafficked girls. Or Wellspring Living works with girls and young women in Atlanta and neighboring communities who are forced into prostitution. 

Pray. Become a prayer partner with some of these organizations. Start a prayer group that prays specifically for the men, women, and children being sold into slavery daily. 

I know that through God's power and grace, we can make a difference in the world by working to end slavery. I pray that you will be a part in serving others and working to End It.
