Become aware of the facts of one of the world's most rapidly growing industries--albeit illegal-- the sale of another human being for profit: children in third world countries being trained to kill with AK-47's, sweat shops with indentured child slaves or the flourishing child sex tourism industry in Asia. We might be less aware of the 300,000-800,000 juvenile girls being bought and sold in the U.S. today. Learn what is being done by churches in the WAPAC District, and how you can become a modern abolitionist.

The curriculum [of FAAST] is not about the agenda of any one organization, ministry or denomination, rather it is about the work of our Father’s Kingdon on earth. The global horror of trafficking of women and young children for sexual exploitation is now far bigger than any one organization, no matter how global. Organized crime around the world is networking together for the destructive purposes of sexual exploitation. How much more should we as people of faith around the world be working together to accomplish God’s purposes of healing and restoration? In the face of this exploding crime, the response of people of faith around the world be working together to accomplish God’s purposes of healing and restoration? In the face of this exploding crime, the response of people of faith must be greater, more coordinated, and more collaborative than anything we’ve ever attempted before in order to challenge this horrendous evil and bring hope to its hurting victims. 602 The 603 RESOURCES TO INFORM ACTION AGAINST HUMAN TRAFFICKING Gathered by Margaret Scott NATIONAL and/or INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS POLARIS PROjECT: By successfully pushing for stronger federal and state laws, operating the National Human Trafficking Resource Center hotline (1-888-373-7888), conducting trainings, and providing vital services to victims of trafficking, Polaris Project creates long-term solutions that move our society closer to a world without slavery. http://www.polarisproject.org/ EXODUS CRY: Exodus Cry is built on a foundation of prayer and is committed to abolishing sex slavery through Christ-centered prevention, intervention, and holistic restoration of trafficking victims, produces films http://exoduscry.com/ EUROPEAN FREEDOM NETWORK (EFT) is a strategic network of the European Evangelical Alliance that connects active and emerging ministries and other stakeholders across Europe.
