"A few years ago I ws asked the question, ‘What will be the greatest global challenge as we enter the 21st century?’ You may think of war, terrorism, famine, AIDS and a number of other colossal needs, which surely all qualify. But among the most serious issues is gender injustice- the abuse and suppression of women. Why? Because it is the biggest, most far reaching, and most hidden" Loren Cunningham
Yesterday we had a couple speak at "The Gathering" (every thursday night we have a community wide worship meeting). God has been stirring their hearts to be a Voice for the Voiceless. They have printed 30 day prayer booklets, and Ben and I have committed to praying for these issues for the next thirty days. Every day I am going to put an issue on this website, please pray with me and the many others that are praying. Let God break your heart for the injustice that occurs all over this world, mostly in developing nations. "Because of the oppression of the weak and the groaning of the needy, God will now arise" Psalms 12:5
We will continue to also update you on what we are learning and our prayer needs as well.
Day 1- Child Prostitution- It is the sexual exploitation of a child for renumeration in cash or kind, usually but not always organized by an intermediary (parent, family member, procurer or teacher)
Stats: 10 million children worldwide are engaged in some facet of the sex industry. Each year, at least 1 million children (as young as the age of 3) mostly girls, become prostitutes. Children are more susceptible to HIV and other STD’s
Pray: 1) That God will arise and defend the little ones. 2) That God would raise up lawyers, moviemakers, and governement rulers who wil bring an end to this savage exploitation.
