This is hard to read:

• After drug dealing, human trafficking is the largest illegal industry in the world.
• There are an estimated 27 million people being held in slavery in the world today – more than at any time in history.
• Approximately 80% of these are women and girls, and 50% are minors. Most are forced into the sex trade.
• Human trafficking is happening in the South Bay.

This Sunday we will have a guest speaker from Oasis/Stop the Traffik, an organization that works to free and restore victims of trafficking. As a church we are prayerfully exploring what it would look like for us (in partnership with several other churches) to make the South Bay a traffic-free community.

Will you be praying for this? What a reminder that what we do matters – that nothing could be more important than knowing Jesus and being part of what he is doing in the world.

Lord use us as agents of healing, ministers of justice and righteousness, use us to make a difference, and to make the South Bay look more like your kingdom . . .

Lord bless you my friends, and see you on Sunday -

Tim
