Sex & Human Trafficking Course

Every day someone's son or daughter is caught, bought, and sold. Human trafficking has become a pervasive global issue, devastating the lives of millions of men, women, children, and families. It is not an "out there" issue it is closer to home than you think. The Bible is not silent on this issue, and we can't be either. Though it is a dark topic, we need to turn the light on and talk about it.
