If you know a teen or young adult who is passionate to stop child trafficking but doesn’t know where to plug in beyond liking a zillion Facebook cause pages, a new mobilization tool can help them. If child trafficking makes you angry,” Diana Scimone, president of the Born2Fly Project to stop child trafficking, tells youth, “it’s because God put that anger inside you.” Scimone’s new book, Audacious, helps teens and young adults find God’s plan for them to fight this injustice. (Hint: They’ll learn about His plan for the rest of their lives, too.) The book includes dozens of “What’s the big idea?” creativity exercises to help youth unlock their own audaciously big idea to end child trafficking — or whatever issue of injustice God has put on their hearts.

While you’re on that site, you can download Born2Fly’s anti-trafficking curriculum for children, teens, and young adults. It’s free and available in many languages.
Sure wish there was an e-book version of this. Living overseas, I’m unlikely to read a paper book anymore. Any chance of a Kindle edition??
Hi Judy,
We are working on the ebook version of Audacious and it will definitely be available for Kindle. Watch this space–and thanks for your interest!

Here’s a comment from a reader who wrote this prayer regarding this item:
A Prayer Related to the Trafficking Paragraph
My heart is filled with sadness for all the children worldwide who are abused by traffickers, pimps, abusers, sellers of sex, leaders in the sex industry around the world, predators, sometimes family members, sexual predators, hungry wolves (John 10:1-10), greedy humans, invaders of privacy/virginity, and sex trip vacationers to certain cities/countries that condone trafficking, such as Bangkok in the past and which has been well documented in TV special reports. The story/accounts of he 3 young ladies who suffered for about 8 years in Cleveland was heart breaking for the victims, their families, and also for Americans in general. It was hard to believe this could occur in the “Land of the Free.” It’s very hard for victims to face their perpetrators. Victims deserve our total support and encouragement, as many are fearful of confronting their perpetrators in the court of law. I appreciate programs help open the eyes of churches and missionaries worldwide to what can be done. God intended for the glory of the church to be revealed through the church to the world. Ephesians 3:1-21
Prayer/Blessing
May God bless and encourage all the “sexual victims/prisoners” who are in captivity “Now” and are desperate for a deliverer to rescue them.
May God bless all the parents and relatives who are desperate for someone to find their child/children who disappeared in the past.
May God bless the USA Agencies and Agents that focus on helping the victims in the USA and worldwide.
May God bless all the TV series that focus on helping the victims like SVU/Special Victims Units that help USA citizens “feel the pulse”/feel the harsh realities of the victims.
May God bless prosecutors and investigators who help bring justice for the victims…sometimes by catching them on the Internet when they are predators
Seeking victims. Matthew 18:1-14
May God bless all the social workers, psychologists, ER doctors, ER nurses, chaplains, pastors, foster parents, children’s homes and the entire team of people who can help. Some pediatric physicians treat victims and also help law enforcement identify the ages of victims in the porn industry to assist prosecutors in bringing justice.
May God bless all the 911 operators on how to respond wisely and quickly to bring about the right law enforcement to quickly follow up on leads as in the Halle Berry movie in 2013.
May all victims and everyone hurt find hope in the God who someday will wipe away every tear from their eyes, bring justice, and provide a sense of “cleansing” and “restoration.” Revelation 21:4
May God restore a sense of the innocence of childhood to those who had their childhood and youthfulness robbed, stolen, marred, tarnished, and demolished, so they can fully enjoy the abundant life through Christ. (John 10:10).

May God bless all Christians, all people of faith, and all governments worldwide with a passion to financially support religious groups, medical groups, and agencies that specialize in meeting the physical, spiritual, emotional, and social needs of trafficking victims worldwide.
