The Need
Everyday the equivalent of 35 Double Decker bus loads of men, women and children are trafficked in the U.S and abroad. These victims are forced into sexual servitude and forced labor.
• Human trafficking is the second most
profitable criminal industry after drug
trafficking.
• Human trafficking is a global phenomenon
that is fueled by poverty and gender
discrimination.
• During their bondage, a victim will be raped
an average of 6,000 times.
• Their odds of rescue are 1/100.
These victims will continue to relive, in their minds, the trauma that was inflicted upon them over and over again. The chance of them integrating back into a normal life is next to impossible without professional help.
The audience

"…to open eyes that are blind, to free captives from prison and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness." Isaiah 42:7

need of a successful Christ-centered
approach to sexual healing.
- Is relatable to the victims of human
trafficking.

The Goal
This curriculum is designed to minister to the victims of sexual abuse. It will help victims cope with their trauma and allow God’s healing from the torment that they experienced.
The stronghold of shame is deep for those who have been sexually abused and trafficked. Victims often believe that their abuse marks them for life; that it’s their identity, that it defines who they are. It is very isolating; they feel different from others.
