After an emotionally draining day, I am so glad to read that my favorite newspaper columnist, Nicolas Kristof, has partnered with one of my favorite ministries to write a success story in the fight against human trafficking. Kristof accompanied an International Justice Mission investigator on a raid/rescue in India, where human trafficking is commonplace. Five girls were rescued, including a ten-year-old who was shortly to be sold for rape for the first time.
To be frank, sometimes I cannot properly rejoice in these success stories because I think of the hundreds of thousands of people who were NOT rescued. Perhaps it was the pairing of Kristoff with IJM or the detail about the ten-year-old--tonight I do rejoice.
