Several years ago, I had an idea to write stories
focusing on a largely misunderstood and underestimated problem in our nation:
Sex trafficking. In my idea, the heroes were those who would rescue girls from
the streets, and the heroines were the girls who struggled for freedom. I saw
the stories as a spin on the Underground Railroad. And this past year, I have
heard of “Operation Underground Railroad,” a group that goes into foreign lands
to rescue girls from the sex slave trade,
In Plain Sight, a documentary on the sex slave trade in the United
States which featured several homes that I would say are the likeness of my
story ideas.
For me, this is both confirmation that this issue
is on the heart of God and that it is an underestimated problem in our nation.
One day, I may get to write a series of stories. One day, maybe I can serve
them in more physical ways. For now, however, I can invite you to get hold of
the film “In Plain Sight” narrated by Natalie Grant, and share it with your
friends, churches, schools, and whomever else you can find who will listen. Our
neighborhoods are screaming for attention and compassion. Let’s unstop our ears
and open our hearts to their cries.
