Summit VI – sex trafficking

Posted by Patrick Corkum on April 29, 2010

In this morning’s general session, a man told a story about a girl by the name of Anya. She was in an orphanage and was brought to a motel where she had met some men who treated her very well, gave her some money, food and the like. She came back the next day and was told that she owed them for all that they had done. Since she obviously could not pay, they told her that she would have to have sex with men to pay off her debt. She refused, was taken to a back room, was beaten and horrible things were done to her while an axe was held to her neck. She escaped and went directly to children’s hope chest, where she was helped. The man speaking then showed a picture taken 10 days ago of the hotel where this happened and is presumably still happening to others. He then held up a red hand-towel, which he took from that same hotel.

Anger… out-right furious anger overcame me. Yes, this was what he was trying to do, and it worked. I later went out to the hope chest exhibit… and there was the towel. Again, anger overwhelmed me to the point where I almost broke down and cried. This world is sick and perverted, and not enough is being done. The thought struck me… if I am this angry over a stupid hotel towel, I can’t imagine God’s anger….
