During our times of ministry we were able to pray with many on the streets including a "madam" who asked us to leave. A few days after we had prayed with her, she was arrested for trafficking, which was a huge miracle!
On Feb. 14, we took out many teams to the red zone district where sex trafficking, prostitution, and the homeless live and work. We brought flowers, hair products, and manicure supplies to hand out and give the girls beauty treatments. There were many salvations and a movement by the Holy Spirit. We made it on the local news that night, http://bcove.me/fvfggrle.
However the most impactful time our team had was our trip to Mazatlan during Carnaval. I was able to attend as a staff member and lead a team fighting against sex trafficking. Carnaval is one of the largest sex trafficking events in the country. Carnaval goes on a two weeks before Lent and Mazatlan is the 3rd largest carnival celebration in the world. This multi-day "Mardi Gras" brings in people from all over the world in addition to large traffickers with many under age victims. We wanted to educated the crowd regarding the signs of sex traffickers, and wanted to find victims. I placed my team on the outside gates of Carnaval, we tied our hands and bodies together with signs around our neck. At the beginning of the line the first sign read "Mexico is the 2d largest sex trafficking country in the world". The following signs read, "It started with porn", "I am 13, "It's not my child". The last sign read, "Now you can't say you didn't know". This was an extremely powerful message that reached many.
I am so blessed to be a part of these rescue, recovery, and teaching others of one of the worlds largest and most damaging acts to our society. Most of my work is done for these in slavery to find freedom, some of these girls that are rescued do not go back to their family, if they had one. They end up spending much time in recovery with their "new family". There they learn what true love, God's redeeming love is and have a plan and hope for their future. The opportunity to be able to give hope to these girls and to help others that are directly involved is my greatest mission. God has really been speaking to my heart regarding what more can I do. God has confirmed to me that He wants me to attend Discipleship Training School with YWAM here in Mexico City. This will enable me to be more knowledgeable in the Bible, Money Management, and the legal system in Mexico. From this I will be able to be a staff leader in YWAM but most importantly to lead others in the fight against trafficking.
In order to do this I need financial support from you. I am asking for you to make a commitment of $20 a month over the next 5 months (of course more than that would be great). This will enable me to attend the Discipleship Training School and help me pursue the destiny God has for my life in fighting against sex trafficking. https://www.youcaring.com/nonprofits/rescue-sex-traffic-victims/119642
