Episode 139 - The Fight Against Child Exploitation: Child Rescue
Today's episode is a sobering one, but such an important listen. I sat down with Tony and Louisa from Child Rescue at the Thinking Matters 'Truth Matters' conference. Child Rescue is an organisation working to locate and free children trapped in exploitation around the world.In this episode you'll hear what this work actually looks like - where the children are being rescued from, how the raids happen, and the heartbreaking reality of the trauma no child should have to endure. One story I can’t stop thinking about is the girl at the green gate - a three-year-old who was being sold online. For two years, one team member devoted himself to searching through Google Maps and walking the streets until he finally found her and was able to orchestrate her rescue from her abusers.We talked about how Tony and Louisa hold onto hope and how their faith sustains and motivates them in their work.If this episode moves you like it did me, please take a moment to pray for the work Child Rescue is doing - and if you can, visit their website (https://www.childrescue.org.nz/) to support or get involved.Click here to watch this episode on YouTube. 0:00 – Coming Up0:43 – Intro1:19 – Meet Louisa1:57 – Meet Tony2:33 – What Is Child Rescue?
