Praise God for the rescue of more than 200 sex trafficking victims last month in a two-week, nationwide sweep called Operation Cross Country 2023. The FBI worked together with state and local agencies to identify or arrest 68 suspected human traffickers and 126 child sexual exploitation and human trafficking offenders. They located 59 minors who were victims of child sex trafficking and sexual exploitation, as well as another 59 children previously reported missing. (FBI.gov, August 1)
Operation Cross Country is now in its 13th year. In 2022, 37 missing children were found and more than 200 trafficking victims were rescued, including 84 children and 141 adults.
An estimated 365,000 children go missing in the USA every year, and about 109,000 or 30% of those are trafficked. (SavedinAmerica.org)
To report suspected human trafficking to federal law enforcement, call 1-866-347-2423. (DHS.gov)
Lord, thank You for these who were rescued. Please continue to use authorities and others to rescue all the more. Guard and guide those who brave danger to help others escape. Be a Shield around every victim and meet them in deep, powerful ways, letting them know You are with them and showing them Your love. Get Your good news to them, O Lord, and save them. Bring Christians to help them recover and offer counseling. Draw them up into Your arms and carry them safely home to You. May lost victims hear of Your great love, believe in You and be saved. For all eternity. Tear down every trafficking and other crime syndicate by Your mighty hand, and bring kidnappers and abusers to their knees before You in repentance.
