What are some practical ways the Church can unite to fight human trafficking?
Begin by praying for survivors and your own hearts. We have specific ways you can pray for the movement here.
Next, become educated. Go through The Fight for Freedom book in a small group and dive into the resources provided here.
Find out what local anti-trafficking organizations are doing in your city and state.
Raise awareness within your church of the issue of human trafficking. Make space and opportunities for local organizations to educate and train your congregation. This could be giving a two-minute platform during a service and/or promoting a “Human Trafficking 101” class after the service is finished.
Create a plan of how to safely and lovingly help those who show signs of abuse or reach out for help.
Give survivors voices and be a safe, non-judgmental space for survivors. Listen to their needs.
Learn what other churches are doing in your area and see if there are opportunities to partner.
Give to organizations doing the hard work in ending demand, raising awareness, or working directly with survivors.
