fighting human trafficking in OkC...

I just saw this today visiting a friend's twitter page, and I have to say that my mind is blown by it. I had heard bits of the conversation surrounding this, but I didn't understand the degree to which Oklahoma City is involved in this.

For those of you that don't know, human trafficking is the "PC" way to refer to the human sex trade. (side note: keep an eye on this in Haiti too, because now that a semblance of stability is in place, this crime has re-started in Haiti, and it needs to be squashed now before it can get up and running again) It's not a pretty thing, and it's a horrible injustice to humanity, and to the heart of God. Nothing about this is okay, and I think it is something that needs to be combated against this. This kind of thing really makes me frustrated for the justice in the world (or seeming lack of), but it's a good kind of frustration. The kind that makes me want to be a person of action, not just anger and words.

Here is a video explaining a local group called "all things new" that is actually in Oklahoma City, doing some incredible work. My brain is already trying to think of ways to get involved and support them.



My friend's blog about this also listed his resources from the State Department's 2007 Trafficking In Persons (TIP) report. You can view that here.

I would encourage and challenge you guys to get involved too. Rage and fight against this kind of thing. And do whatever you can to help end it.
