Did anyone else notice this article in the Seattle Times yesterday? I think it's remarkable for a couple of reasons. First, were you aware that Seattle has a problem with underage prostitution, and that most of the business seems to be run online?
Then, as I read the article, I was impressed that this just doesn't seem like that big of a deal to many people. The article had a tone of weary indifference that really bothered me, in light of the subject.
My question then, is, how are we, as a church already involved in the struggle to end human trafficking overseas, going to respond to this evil at our doorstep? Does anyone know of anyone doing something about this--outside of the injunctions against the Weekly?
Talk to my friend Kevin Austin with Not For Sale. He is passionately involved in the international aspects of this problem - and probably the local aspects too.
