I wasn't sure what to expect going into the conference, except a day of workshops dealing with some pretty tough subjects. But what I gained from the conference I think I will hold on to. I have always had a passion for working with girls and women affected by sex crimes, but I always focused my attention on sex crimes within North America. But when I heard of children and girls being sold into prostitution all over the world, it broke my heart. And if it broke my heart, it makes me wonder just how much it hurts God.
In the workshop on Slavery, we talked about the sex trade, and watched a very disturbing movie called Mudan's Field. Very hard movie to watch. In summary, a little girl is sold to a brothel and the movie is about her eventual rape and how she copes with being sold. It is brutal to watch. I was sobbing by the end of the movie. I was so angry and torn up. And again, if I am angry, how angry is God? It's his little child, being brutalized and raped.
It made me want to do something. It made me want to ride to the rescue and save little girls like Mudan. But since I can't, the most I can do now is pass on this story and that it does happen. If you can take watching a very disturbing movie that will most likely enrage you, and show you one thing that few people think about, but what most be on God's mind all the time. Watch it. Watch it and pass on that this does happen, and that it needs to be put to an end.
