Who is fighting for them??? That is the question that I have been asking myself for the last 4 days since the conference. http://www.freedom-summit.org I attending this conference and was blown away. I haven't been able to sleep and the thought of fighting for these kids will not escape my mind.
I have 2 boys and it's easy to fight for them! They are mine! But these kids that are sold into prostitution and slavery, who is fighting for them? I think about the parents that SOLD them into this life and I am stumped. How bad is life that you have to sell one of your kids. I look at my life and say there are plenty of "things" in my house that I can sell before my kids. I have plenty of family that will give everything so they can survive. The church won't let this happen! To get down to selling your kids...life must suck!
I travel the chain of these kids getting raped and look to the homes/villages where they come from. Where is Jesus in this whole equation? I wonder what life would be like to have HOPE in Jesus. I know life would change for them!
Have HOPE in Jesus!
The verses that stick out in my mind from the conference are Psalm 27:1-3. These verses were a prayer of a 5 year old girl who was sold into prostitution! As she was getting raped she was reading this on her wall by her bed...
1 The LORD is my light and my salvation—
whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the stronghold of my life—
of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When evil men advance against me
to devour my flesh,
when my enemies and my foes attack me,
they will stumble and fall.
3 Though an army besiege me,
my heart will not fear;
though war break out against me,
even then will I be confident.
I am still trying to figure out what Jesus wants me to do with all this info. I want to say "I AM" fighting for these kids! I think Jesus would fight for them...but in what way? Pray for these kids!
