Go Beyond

Although slavery is illegal, more than twenty-seven million people in the world today are held as slaves. Millions of these are forced to work in brothels — from Houston to the red light districts of South Asia. Millions of others are forced to work as laborers. Whether forced to work in brothels, brick kilns, or dangerous construction sites, all of these individuals are treated as a disposable commodity by their oppressors. At Kingsland, we are committed to addressing the issue of modern-day slavery and are willing to do something about it. We currently support the work of aftercare homes for girls rescued from prostitution in Central America, Africa, and South Asia. The girls in these homes have the opportunity to heal and to make a new start. We are also committed to partnering with organizations that work to liberate people trapped in the dark world of the commercial sex trade in our own community.

In order to raise awareness about human trafficking, Kingsland’s Justice Ministry is hosting a Just Run for a Just Cause on Saturday, September 18. Here are the details…
