Everyone, Shared Hope International.

A few months ago when I went to Orlando, not having a clue what I would run into, I met the president of an organization called Shared Hope International. Meeting this lady was a really cool experience and God-thing for me because I first became interested in fighting against human trafficking when a friend told me about this particular organization. He told me a little about their organization and one of their success stories of rescuing a victim.

So me coming into contact with this lady (and sitting at her table) was a milestone for me. Please pray for them as they continue fighting for these girls. Here is a link to a book the organization released concerning minor sex trafficking:   http://www.sharedhope.org/Portals/0/Documents/SHI_National_Report_on_DMST_2009.pdf

On December 1, they will release the Protected Innocence Initiative, which is a, "comprehensive   legislative response to child sex trafficking in America." It will be a sort of report for all 50 states, plus Washington, D.C. concerning their efforts to end trafficking. It also reveal the laws, if any, which states have in effect concerning traffickers and their victims.
