II Corinthians 7:13 Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is Liberty !!!
This may seem far fetched, and it is... but it is far reaching reality.
A mother is tied to a post delivering a baby girl. A joy filled experience for the mother and others, in the back room of the brothel. The news is shared with the "grandfather". (not as we think about "grandpa") Grandfather here is the man in charge of all activities of all reproductive activities in the "clinic" house of the *Business*. The baby girl will be raised as a
number, a faceless one, till she begins her role in the *Business*.
Contained in a box, a room about the size of 8` x 10`, this child will be given provisions of food, shelter, and conditioned affection. This is the beginning of another life, in the one of the oldest occupations on Earth.`farming of humans` for personal use.
According to the U.S. State Dept. there are approximately 27 million `farms` found throughout the world. Human farming (slavery) is a well known part of the world's history. *The Business* (slavery) also known as *Human Farming* for gain is defined in the United Nations Victim Protection Act (TVPA-UN) as "any recruitment, housing, transport, providing and obtaining of any Human person, for the use in labor and service, through the use of force, fraud, coercion, or the provoking of individuals to do involuntary services, for the recreation of others."
The *Business* aka *Human Trafficking* is happening all over the world, to Humans of all ages.
In California, a 12 yr. old from Egypt is a household servant to a 1.6 million dollar land owner. The child is not allowed to leave the residence. The *Business* uses force and false promises to keep the "workers" bound to "company rules". Fear is the motivating force that keeps the workers from leaving the areas assigned. Years also go by without any of this activity being detected.
A *Business* in Africa has rules and strict discipline for any "worker" that attempts to leave camp. A few "workers" have left the area, only to be found and their toes and heels of each foot to be sliced off. The *Business* uses deception and false promises to lure new employees.
Example: In the Philippines an ad stated ; Free room, Free food, and Travel to exciting places with some of the world's wealthiest people. There was a group of individuals who gathered their belongings, enthousiastically signing the contract. During the first year with the *Business* the time was filled with many exciting events. Then, little by little each member was transferred to other areas of the world. Upon arrival these members were escorted into `temporary` facilities, and told that they would have to earn their way into a house. Many patiently and perseveringly worked from sunrise to sunset. Each day they would be told that “soon the house will be ready." As time continued forward, many noticed that the provisions
of life were also being cut back. Any resistance to the conditions caused discipline to be administered in ways that are too numerous to mention.
Consider Irma, a teenage girl from Haiti who lost all that she had a few years ago. A Gentleman rescued her from her desperate situation. The man was 20 yrs. her senior, an entrepreneur, and kind, so Irma followed his advice and signed up as his residential employee. During the first five years, Irma was surrounded with wealth, courtesy, and good living quarters. Irma willingly did the many chores on the Florida Ranch. Cleaning water tanks, brushing horses, fixing fences, and caretaking the Ranch. Not realizing that her future would change, Irma continued to be a friend, and a good girl at the Ranch...till one day Irma was found in a field, enveloped within the arms of Mother Nature.
Irma had earned her Freedom !!!
As a praying community we need to mention in our prayers, and keep in our journals, the men, women, and children, around the world who are captive to the *Business*. There are many agencies that assist those captured and held in these Human Farms. The halting of these *Businesses* can be done. If you know or hear of any trafficking of humans anywhere, call the National Human Trafficking Resource Center at 1-888-3737-888 .
Lets never forget !!!
Our Lord Jesus Christ came to Set the Captive Free !!!
