1. AWARENESS: an educational campaign spreading information
through pamphlets, speeches, films, word of mouth, and online
2. ACTION: service projects and fundraising events to get the local

for someone in your community
Believe we don’t know enough
“Sex-industry” is well-funded to get out its message
Sounds like a “prude”
Denial
Not ready for what might happen
System will continue to provide the language, attitude, belief, and
justification for its existence and self-perpetuation
Miss an opportunity to proclaim a message of redemption and
transformationWhat if we don’t speak?
People will suffer in silence, not understanding the oppression that
has gripped them
Lives of our most vulnerable will continue to be shaped by a culture
of exploitation
We are called to stand in the grace of God,
believing that it is a missional priority to proclaim release to the
captives of the system of exploitation.
