Human Trafficking: Modern day slavery has become an increasing hazard, not just in international circles, but on the streets of local cities. A prayer and outreach group is forming this month to combat human trafficking. As with the drug trade, it can hide in plain sight while it corrupts young and old. Please join efforts to pray and to promote awareness and educational resources for this issue. Help us to come to the aid of those in need of hope.
