\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>24,000 a year in Chicago alone, average age is 13\u2026<\/p>\n<p>These are images, events, numbers seared in my mind.\u00a0\u00a0 They have shocked me to the core of my being.\u00a0 They have struck fear in me beyond what I thought possible.\u00a0 They have made me angrier than I knew I could be.\u00a0 The stories, statistics and startling images of human trafficking in the sex trade scandalize me.<\/p>\n<p>All those years ago when Ruth Hill introduced the Break the Chains Initiative in the church I was attending, I felt overwhelmed with the enormity of the problem of human trafficking.\u00a0 I began to ask God what I could do.\u00a0 The problem is too huge, too evil, and too terrible.\u00a0 But God (best two words ever!) reminded me that nothing is impossible with him, so I kept listening and seeking and taking the next step.<\/p>\n<p>This past year I have seen God connect a whole church to a ministry that helps women transition from lives of sexual exploitation to lives of hope and healing.\u00a0 Here\u2019s the story.\u00a0 I had the privilege of doing a pastoral internship at the Evangelical Covenant Church of Hinsdale, IL.\u00a0 When the internship started, I met with six women who wanted to see the women\u2019s ministry get involved with a justice ministry.\u00a0\u00a0 When we gathered, we didn\u2019t expect that God would show us what that was right away and we entered into a discernment process.<\/p>\n<p>Our discerning questions were:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Does it honor God?<\/li>\n<li>Does it line up with Scripture?<\/li>\n<li>Do other believers confirm it?<\/li>\n<li>Does it produce good fruit?<\/li>\n<li>Does God make it happen?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Over time we were led to get involved with helping women escape sexual exploitation in the sex trafficking trade and find new lives in Christ.\u00a0 Groundwork had been done with a fundraiser a few years before, a college roommate who was starting a transitional housing ministry, and a mom\u2019s friend who was working on a big dream.\u00a0 We decided to partner with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.moodychurch.org\/naomis-house\/\">Naomi\u2019s House<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Our plan:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pray intentionally about the ministry.<\/li>\n<li>Pursue the directors of Naomi\u2019s House for more information about partnership.<\/li>\n<li>Prepare the congregation by raising awareness through education and events.<\/li>\n<li>Present the case to the congregation as a whole.<\/li>\n<li>Pop the question for partnership.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We intentionally prayed together and separately for and about the ministry.\u00a0 We met with Naomi\u2019s House directors several times to create a partnership.\u00a0 We presented the partnership possibility to the church leadership.\u00a0 The directors of Naomi\u2019s House came and spoke to the women of the church and we kept in contact.\u00a0 To raise awareness and educate the congregation we offered a class using the Protect materials from Women\u2019s Ministry of the Evangelical Covenant Church. \u00a0We used a series of weekly communications with the congregation to promote the partnership.\u00a0 We presented the partnership to many of the various Bible studies of the church.\u00a0 Then we popped the question: Would the church make at least a two-year commitment to support Naomi\u2019s House.\u00a0 They said yes by raising funds to completely remodel and furnish two rooms in the house.\u00a0 Naomi\u2019s House will open in October offering hope and healing to eight women at a time.<\/p>\n<p>This is not the only thing the church did.\u00a0 One of the men in the church contacted Congressman Peter Roskam and asked him to come speak about human trafficking at the church.\u00a0 The youth group sponsored an educational series for young women about human trafficking.\u00a0 People are talking about what more they can do.\u00a0 It is a great start!\u00a0 The partnership honors God, lines up with scripture, other believers confirmed it by their support.\u00a0 It has produced good fruit in the church already and we look forward to the work God will do in the lives of women at Naomi\u2019s House.\u00a0 God made it happen and will continue to make it happen.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s good to be scandalized by a huge problem. \u00a0But don\u2019t stay there!<\/p>\n<p><strong>PRAY<\/strong> for those who are exploited.\u00a0 Pray for the traffickers.\u00a0 Pray for government officials.\u00a0 Pray for ourselves.\u00a0LEARN more about the
