1. Prayer for an End to Trafficking
O God, our words cannot express what our minds can barely
comprehend and our hearts feel, when we hear of men and women,
boys and and girls deceived and transported to unknown places
for purposes of sexual exploitation and enslavement and all
kinds of abuse because of human greed and the desire for profit
at this time in our world.
Our hearts are saddened and our spirits angry that their
dignity and rights are being transgressed through threats,
deception and force.
We cry out against the degrading practice of trafficking:
• Against the sale of women
and girls into the sex industry,
• Against the sale of people
of all ages for their bodily organs
• Against the capture of boys
who become child soldiers
• Against the enslavement of
men in dangerous, dirty and demeaning work
• And against the sale of babies.
We pray that the buying and selling of people will to end.
