Sex trafficking is a form of modern-day slavery in which individuals are forced, deceived or coerced into commercial sexual exploitation. Sex trafficking is a multi-billion dollar business annually and is the fastest growing sector of organized crime.
"The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound." Isaiah 61:1
In San Diego:
An estimated 3,400-8,100 trafficking victims in San Diego alone

Join us in praying for Sex Trafficking:
That God would shape our hearts to abhor sexual exploitation as He does.
That God would give us opportunities to serve, and the wisdom and courage to follow through.
That God would break the arm of the wicked and evildoer and call his wickedness to account (Psalm 10:15)
