Walking for Freedom

This is something I don’t want Tatum to ever know. However, there is a secret tragedy going on all around us, and we don’t even see it. It’s now come to Scottsdale. HUMAN TRAFFICKING IS MODERN-DAY SLAVERY. According to A21, Human trafficking fuels the growth of organized crime, undermining health, safety, security, and the basic needs of humanity. It is the fastest growing crime in the world.

City of Grace participated in a walk on Saturday, and we walked with people all over the world to spread awareness.

Tatum joined me in this 3-mile trek around Scottsdale Fashion Square mall. This is where most of the crime takes place. Unassuming, handsome young men approach young teens and “recruit” them to be models. Next thing you know, they are kidnapped and taken into slavery to perform horrific acts to make money for the leaders. It’s the fastest growing issue right now, and it scares me.
Pastor Terry spoke to us early and encouraged us on our journey:

Janette and I celebrated the journey at the end, and we hope more people can become aware and make a difference. http://www.a21.org/IMG_1153
