Over 1.5 million children around the world are held captive within the sex slave and human trafficking industry. They are victims of unspeakable crimes, hidden from the outside world and held in deep captivity. Tens of thousands of children are peddled into slavery each year as they are sold by parents or relatives-or tricked by agents-into servitude as sex slaves. In a desperate attempt to escape deprivation, entire villages will sell their children, or be tricked into thinking that visitors to their village can find acceptable work for their children in the cities. They are promised a good life and income for their children, not realizing that their own flesh and blood will be sold into the hands of ruthless men and women who will exploit them through the sex industry and human trafficking.
These children are taught to believe there is no hope, that they will never be free again, that their life is over, but God is raising up a standard against the enemy in this hour. He is igniting a heart of passion for those held in bondage, and giving us the privilege of seeing lives transformed. We believe and know that it is the Lord’s desire to see each child set free and come into a saving knowledge of Him. He is the answer. FMI has had the privilege of seeing the love of our Father transform lives through Redemption, a ministry we are partnering with in Southeast Asia. Hundreds of children have been rescued through this ministry, and we long to see more brought into the Father’s house. We will see their mourning turned into dancing, their weeping into laughing. There is not one child who is beyond the reach of our Father’s arms.
We invite you to read their stories, to see their faces, to learn how you can join us in bringing the Father’s love and freedom to those held in deep captivity.
Due to the sensitive nature of this topic, our desire is to boldly proclaim how God is freeing these children while at the same time protecting those we are partnering with. As such, names and locations disclosed in testimonies may have been changed to protect identities. The name “Redemption” is used in our media publications to represent the ministry we are working with in Southeast Asia. Please pray for these faithful servants who regularly lay down their lives for our King and for the sake of reaching out to the lost.
