YES! Thank you HPD! This is amazing and very much needed. I think this will go a long way in making Houston a safer place. I applaud this anti-trafficking efforts! GREAT JOB!

The streets in the Houston area that are known for s*xual activity will now be shut down nighty once businesses close, according to Houston police.

This is a really urgent prayer request. My heart is so broken for this 16 year old trafficking victim. Please pray right now. We need a miracle to find her. She is scared and suffering right now. She is being trafficked at this very moment.

Update: we got a hold of law enforcement in that city. Pray that we get her location ASAP. Every time you have prayed, these girls have been rescued. Your prayers change everything.

We need prayer for a trafficking victim! She has been taken outside of Houston. Pray for good contacts in law enforcement and pray that we can find her!!

What a fun evening with the girls! One of the best things I get to do with them is to create special, new memories - to replace the ones of broken childhoods and trauma from trafficking. We went from room to room filled with fun colorful exhibits, and in childlike wonder, we had a blast. For an evening, the stresses of life, depression and pain dissipated. They could be kids again.

I love my job. I love these girls. I admire their strength and tenacity. They have strength like no other. They should not have been with me tonight. By the grace of God, they survived the violence of trafficking, mentally and physically. No matter how hard life gets, none of them give up. These girls are amazing. ❤️

We need prayers! S*xual abuse at a young age is one of the most common denominators among trafficking victims. And I work so hard with our young ladies to prevent s*xual abuse from happening to their children. We talk about naming body parts appropriately at a young age; we provide age appropriate books on preventing s*xual abuse. But recently one of our 3 year olds reported s*xual abuse and her mother is devastated. And I am heartbroken. I have known this little girl from the day she was born. And now she is on the path that has wrought so much devastation on her mother. And the abuser is her father, an unspeakable evil. I am sick to my stomach. Can you please pray for this family? Pray for justice. Pray for healing. Pray that God would materially alter the path for this precious little child. I am so sad for her right now. Pray for her mother's heart and mind. Pray that God would surround this little one with His angels and mercy, especially at night when she can't sleep.

She’s been rescued!!!!!! This has been the craziest day ever. They almost missed her, but I was able to work with mom and at the very last minute HPD found her! I am so thankful for your prayers. Coordinating the rescue from afar was insane. It is quite the story. I am 100% confident that your prayers made all of the difference!! God is good and faithful! Today TWO teenagers have been rescued from s*x trafficking!

Important update! Please be praying this morning! There is a very dangerous situation involving two minors that are being trafficked and lots of guns. Please pray that the rescue happens this morning! Please pray that everything falls into place. Please pray that these girls are kept safe. Pray for wisdom and guidance for HPD. This is probably one of the most dangerous rescues that we have been involved in. Absolutely all prayers are needed this morning.

URGENT prayer needed! I can’t share details right now but I need everyone to be praying right now for a teen s*x trafficking victim. Pray that God would move powerfully in her life and that His perfect plan would prevail!

We need our prayer warriors! Pray for one of our trafficking survivors! She is going into labor right now and it is way too early for the baby to come. So please pray that everything will go smoothly and that baby and mama will be safe! ❤️

This is a carousel my kids have ridden many times. But when I met with a new trafficking survivor this week, she wanted to ride it. She is sixteen years old. Because she has had so much trauma and abuse from a young age, she is still mentally a child. She was robbed of her innocence and her childhood. Research shows that at the age you were abused is the age you get stuck at mentally. And I see it in her. She enjoys playing with toys and has a childlike wonder about many things. She also has a very deep anger. The most recent trauma is being kidnapped and r***d by a pimp in her apartment complex. She was luckily saved by a security guard before the trafficker could whisk her away and sell her in different cities. I would appreciate prayers for her. She has a long way to go in her healing and recovery.
