Tread on Trafficking 2011

Post to Twitter



There is a road we keep running on until we reach our goal, but love gives us strength to continue our journey. -Trafficking survivor

As my heart has continued to break over the atrocities of sex trafficking, God has been moving in me to do more. I know that this is a difficult thing to talk about. The statistics are overwhelming and the problem keeps growing. Yet, the difficulties and challenges we face in seeking to defeat this evil in no way compares to the evil these precious girls face every single day. They in no way compare to being used and bought and sold for man’s evil pleasure. I wrote about this here, but to recap:
Therefore for May and June, I will be part of a team to Tread for Trafficking. Together, we have committed to run, bike, hike, and swim 500 miles (260 each) over the two months and we are asking you to sponsor us. You can check out our page and commit to sponsor us per mile or give a one time donation. We have set a lofty goal of raising $2000, but really, that’s just 200 people giving $10.00. Easy! This is something very near and dear to my heart and I am going to give $1 for every mile I tread. So join us in supporting Love146 and the abolition of sex trafficking, as we tread on trafficking.
-Sex Trafficking is the 2nd largest global crime raking in over 32 billion in “profits” each year.

-Predications state that it will surpass drugs to become #1 sometime in 2011 because, unfortunately, humans can be sold multiple times.

-Only 1 to 2% of girls are ever rescued from sex trafficking.

-Only 1 in 100,000 Europeans are every convicted of sex crimes.

-Every two minutes another child is captured and enslaved in this “life”.
