Operation: Liberate
There are 27 million slaves in the world today, which is more than were ever traded in the Trans-Atlantic slave trade. Some 2 million of those are children who have been forced into prostitution. These slaves are tricked, forced, bullied, or sold by their parents into forced labor camps or brothels.
Christ calls us to be a light to the world, a city on the hill. He says that whenever we give a glass of water unto the least of these, we've done it for Him. How much more love will we show Him by liberating a child from sexual slavery and making sure they receive physical and spiritual care and protection.
SOF has taken action action to join the fight against this vile practice. We have launched a liberation team which has the goal of performing undercover operations, liberating women and children that have been enslaved for profit through sexual exploitation, placing the freed victims in quality aftercare facilities, and following up with prosecutions of the pimps.
We are now finishing up training and research phase of this project. We have poured through thousands and thousands of reports, studied international legal codes, and received training from different organizations that are experts in their fields.
We hope to have this project fully operational and conducting operations by mid-2010.
We do need your help. While generous donors have helped us with a significant portion of our budget, we are in real need of financial sponsors to help reach our goal of becoming fully operational.
