In John 4, where Jesus touches the Samaritan woman, he engages her, he’s accepting and he’s offering her hope. That is the beginning step for us as Christians to walk into people’s lives, be accepting and offer hope when normally it’s our human nature to tuck our purse and turn the other way. Heather Morse

Heather Morse has been doing outreach into the sex industry since 2008. She has also been Human Trafficking Advocate at a women’s residential program which served women who were starting a new life after face life-controlling issues, such as addiction, homelessness and prostitution. She continues to address the issue of human trafficking through speaking -engagements and awareness events.
In this episode, I talk to Heather Morse about a ministry in human trafficking.
She speaks about:
-Why Christians need to build bridges to the vulnerable Samaritan women of society.
-What steps you can take to prevent and help victims of human trafficking in your own local community?
-What are the visible signs of this happening that you should look for.
-How can you begin a ministry in this area.
-How sharing the gospel and loving people can make a huge difference in people’s lives.
She shares a few tips and statistics about how to get involved in this area and how stronger communities will help prevent this from happening.
20.9 million people are victims of human trafficking. That is a staggering number of people who are denied freedom and dignity.
Here’s the podcast:
Here are links to organizations Heather talks about in the podcast.
The Polaris project: National Human Trafficking Hotline 1 (888) 373-7888
Since we’ve just celebrated Divine Mercy Sunday, consider extending compassion to these vulnerable women as well. See how you can build bridges by simply sharing the gospel, volunteering and learning about people in your own community.
If you see something, say something! That maybe someone’s daughter, sister, brother or child and as a Christian we can’t simply look the other way.
Tips for Christian Ministry inHuman Trafficking
This is a difficult ministry. Even if you’re not called to it, consider working with rehab homes, shelters and health centers to help and train these victims as they re-enter society. A better community is the answer, while you fervently pray for all those who do work in some of these dark areas like Heather does.
Please share this podcast so that more people can become aware and take charge of what’s happening in their own communities.
