If you'd eve...Human trafficking is my passion. If you'd ever like to look into it further, check out other organizations who are combatting trafficking - I have a blog dedicated to it (www.fight4freedom-ht.blogspot.com) and on my sidebar are links to several Christian organizations around the world combatting trafficking. IJM is an awesome organization, I was associated with them for a few years several years ago but branched out when I realized they only work overseas and there are an estimated 14,500-17,500 people trafficked into the U.S. each year. Additionally, the Center for Missing & Exploited Children puts the number of domestic children kidnapped and forced into slavery at about 300,000. That's a lot of Americans trapped in this country and we really have nothing in the way of awareness (our kids have NO idea the dangers they're in and their parents don't believe it could happen to them) and on and on it goes. There is a lot that can be done - even after the coffee offer expires. Sorry for my long-winded comment - as I said at the start, this is my passion, my "calling" if you want to call it that. I can - and have - talked for hours on the subject. Blessings!Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18128672904128145179noreply@blogger.com
