Chapter 2

To everyone that followed and supported me a few months back, sorry for the (long) delay in posts.
To everyone stumbling upon this blog for the first time, I hope you enjoy.
To everyone, I have realized that I cannot do this feat by myself, so I hope you will join in your own sort of way.

There is a piece of legislation in Congress that has been motionless since October that will greatly advance the fight against human trafficking. (To everyone that thinks this sin against mankind only happens overseas, I advise you it happens here in our backyards. This crime called human trafficking comes in many different shapes and sizes. To name a few: sex, bond, labor. It happens daily at truck stops, nail and massage parlors, big industry, shipping ports, and even in my home state of Mississippi.) TVPRA further recognizes what human trafficking is and helps protect victims that are trafficked to our country against their will. It will also refund acts that Hillary Clinton started 10+ years ago to protect these victims. And guess what? Democrats AND Republicans both are sponsoring this bill! So once again, call your Congressman and ask them to sponsor TVPRA!!!

In other news, Jada Pinkett Smith joins in the fight!

I have been wrestling with the idea about starting some sort of campaign against trafficking here in Mississippi. I am not sure what that means or look like, but as I mentioned before I now realize that I alone cannot do accomplish this task. So I am asking you to keep me in you prayers and you are truly interested, I would love to have you on the team.

Shalom.

A Glass Can Only Spill What It Contains

Ahhhh...the first post of the new year. Better make it a good one just in case anyone reads my ramblings (does anyone actually take time to do so? Thanks, if so)

My time thus far in Florida has been bitter sweet, and by bitter I mean the feeling when you get when one eats a persimmon before it is fully right (I was tricked into this many, many times.) But lets take this time to talk about what God is doing. The others are for a different time, different blog productof88.blogspot.com.


January 11th is National Human Trafficking Awareness Day (thanks President Obama for passing this, for this I commend you) So please mention this to everyone. Many people have no clue that slaves even exist today. They believe the last time a slave was around was during a war about some civil stuff, not to mention that we come into contact with many of them and don't even know it......FYI, the movie Taken wasn't just another Hollywood story. Its real, and this stuff happens all day, every day. And this movie is the glorified version of rescuing a victim of trafficking. I wish one man could fly across the ocean and rescue his daughter. Many times IF someone is found, it takes many many people to pull the attempt off. So go on...tell your kids, tell your wife, tell your kids, tell your wife that you can do something about it. And together, we gonna find THEM!

Praise the Lord I have three meetings this month about gangs/trafficking! Pray that I can network with people and that I can serve where I am able.

Talking to my pastor last night. He informed me that some time ago, he went to speak at a Hispanic Church on trafficking. Afterwards a lady in the crowd said, "Oh my God, I know where that is happening!" She told him, and what was only supposed to be a speaking arrangement for him ended up also being a rescue mission-he helped save 2 boys from being trafficked any longer!! Praise God!
He mentioned also that police investigation is underway. Pray that God gives our team the wisdom and ability to rescue other victims in the Tampa Bay area.

A glass can only spill what it contains. Common sense ehh?? What is spilling from your glass?
