Human trafficking funding terrorism

Human trafficking is showing up everywhere in the world, and criminal organizations and terrorist organizations are benefiting from selling people.

ISIS is the epitome of evil. The following link is to an article in the Washington Post about how members of ISIS raise money through the selling of women as sex slaves. Here's the link, http://tinyurl.com/hrtnq8y

The following quote by an ISIS member selling young girls proves that point as well, "Supply and demand makes her that price."

The fact there is demand shows the evilness in this world. The fact there are more than 30 million slaves in the world (a conservative number) shows how evil the world is. The fact the U.S. Is one of the top importers of sex trafficking shows how evil our own nation is. All of the top importers of sex slavery are western nations.

Yes, we need to pray more than ever, but we also need to take action more than ever as well. We must share the love of Jesus with everyone, no matter their ethnicity or religion. Jesus says in Acts 1:8, "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth."

Jesus commands us to be His witnesses. Are we obeying? Obviously not everyone who claims to be Christian in this world is obeying our Lord's command, or this world wouldn't be so evil. It's past time to change that. Everyone who claims to be Christian must be His witnesses and show forth His love to all people. When people truly experience the love of Jesus they can't help but change.

We also must stand for justice and help those who cannot speak for themselves, so when we see or suspect human trafficking, we must report it.

Only God can deliver this world from evil, and we need to do our part by following and serving Him as Jesus told us and showed us.
