Child Sex Slavery and Child sex trafficking is a major issue in the world today. There is an extreme injustice to millions of young women and children that must be addressed, especially within the Christian community. Meck has an exciting opportunity to make a real difference on the front lines in Cebu. The
International Justice Mission is standing at the ready to go into the brothels to free those young women and children, and
My Refuge House is who they turn to for providing the aftercare facility. Through your gifts to the Unhindered Campaign, Meck was able to provide the money to build a home for My Refuge House for the care of these girls. The ministry team Meck will send to Cebu will be able to work with these girls, reaching out to them where they are through the arts and one on one relationships. Those that are of age (and of interest) will be able to see firsthand the red-light district; a further reinforcement of just why Meck chose to be involved in this endeavor. They will also be able to work hands-on with the house that is being constructed to truly turn it into a home – a place where they can feel safe. This will undoubtedly be a life-changing experience for all those involved.
