Walking in to the gym, I was dreading the hour ahead. I’m not your “let’s get sweaty and don’t you love to feel the burn” kind of girl. Just saying . . .
I climbed on the treadmill and up walked a trainer. This is never a really good sign. I didn’t care to be pushed, I just wanted to do my time and be on about my business.
He said questioningly, “Rescue is Coming?”
It threw me off guard for a minute. I had forgot I had worn my “rescue is coming” t-shirt from the Exodus Road that morning. All the sudden I had a burst of energy and could have talked to him about the plight of human trafficking and The Exodus Road for hours.
But clients were calling him and sweat was beginning to drip in my eyes. As he left, my mind was quickly drawn to those who are trafficked.
Can you imagine being one of them waiting for a rescue?
Sold by uncles and those closest to them, girls are snatched from society. They are trapped, beaten, tortured, and many times forgotten about. Through the schemes of man many a young girl and boy end up in brothels.
Ever wondered what the inside of a locked brothel looks like?
Ever questioned what one of our undercover investigators sees while on mission looking for victims and children?
Take two minutes and get an inside look through the following video, which follows our partners at Indian Rescue Mission into a locked brothel in a red-light district. The footage is shot by a covert camera which is typical of the gear we provide our partners with and which our founder, Matt Parker, was wearing.” ~ The Exodus Road
Watch this short video for a front-row seat to both the realities of modern day slavery and the brave people who are ushering rescue in. It will surely make you want to bang your fists and cry your eyes out.

Whoa, Alene. It’s hard to imagine this kind of stuff actually happening. A friend gave me the dvd “Human Trafficking” with Mira Sorvino. This kind of evil? Chilling.
Alene Snodgrass says
It is chilling. It makes my heart pound so fast that I can’t breathe. Do you know the number one place children are trafficked form in Central America? Well, tomorrow’s post will also show you it is happening in our backyards!!! Just writing it was nauseating, girl!!!
